Abstract

Information, which has a frame structure and is to be transmitted from a line control apparatus (101) through a control channel to a mobile transmitting/receiving apparatus (102), includes function channel identifying information indicative of the type of information transmitted in an area of control information. When no message is existent which must be notified to the mobile transmitting/receiving apparatus (102), the line control apparatus (101) establishes an idle message in the area of control information and also establishes the function channel identifying information, which is in the same frame, as idle identifying information. If the function channel identifying information is the idle identifying information, the mobile transmitting/receiving apparatus (102) switches a receiving operation in the area of control information into a reception stop operation. Otherwise, the mobile transmitting/receiving apparatus (102) continues the receiving operation in the area of control information. The present invention can start a call in a short time and elongate the operational time with a wireless communication apparatus serving as a mobile wireless station.
