Abstract
A combination of a mobile station and electronic toll collection device includes a transponder configured to communicate with an automatic toll collection station. This provides an identification of the transponder for toll collection purposes. The mobile station antenna and a mobile transceiver are electrically linked and the mobile transceiver transmits and receives mobile communication signals via the antenna. Further, the transponder can use its own antenna or the mobile station antenna to communicate with the toll collection station. The mobile station includes a battery which is also electrically linked to the transponder to power both the transponder and the mobile station.
