Abstract
A method for the operation of a radio system (28) includes muting, the fixed station (25) of the radio system (28) when no operable mobile telecommunication terminal (30) is located in its coverage area (20). A system to execute the procedure comprises a fixed station (25) for the radio system (28) and a mobile telecommunication terminal (30) suited to communicate with the radio system (28). The fixed station (25) has a circuit to detect an operable mobile telecommunication terminal (30) in its coverage area (20) and a circuit to mute the transmitter of the fixed station (25), depending on the state of the detection circuit. The mobile telecommunication terminal (30) has a circuit to determine its position—preferably based on signals of another radio system (18)—and to check whether that position is basically located within the coverage area (20) of a fixed station (25) of the radio system (28) with which it is entitled to communicate, as well as a circuit to execute a registration procedure which can trigger the activation of the radio system (28).
