A base station includes an incoming call terminal identification message generating portion When the base station transmits an incoming call message to a terminal, an incoming call terminal identification message useful for only the incoming call terminal, for example a message such as ID number information peculiar to the terminal, is inserted in the head of a slot assigned to the terminal and is transmitted. When the incoming call terminal detects the incoming call terminal identification message, the terminal receives a regular incoming call message transmitted thereafter. When the terminal cannot detect the incoming call terminal identification message, the terminal judges that the message is not directed to a call to its own terminal and immediately stops monitoring of the slot at this time.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A terminal for use with a base station which communicates by radio with the terminal via a control channel and a speech channel, the control channel having a repeating sequence of time slots, comprising:a receiving portion to receive messages from the base station over the control channel;a terminal identification message detecting portion to detect whether the receiving portion has received, from the base station, a terminal identification message inserted at the head of a time slot assigned to the terminal;an incoming call message detecting portion to detect whether the receiving portion has received an incoming call message transmitted by the base station after the terminal identification message; andcontrol means for selectively turning the portions on and off so as to monitor at least the head of the time slot assigned to the terminal and to stop monitoring the slot assigned to the terminal for the rest of the slot if the terminal identification message is not inserted at the head of the slot assigned to the terminal,wherein the control means comprises means for turning at least the receiving portion and the terminal identification message detecting portion on prior to the slot assigned to the terminal, for turning at least the receiving portion and the terminal identification message detecting portion off if the terminal identification message is not detected at the head of the slot assigned to the terminal, and for ensuring that the incoming call message detecting portion is on if the terminal identification message is detected at the head of the slot assigned to the terminal, andwherein the control means further comprises means for turning the terminal identification message detecting portion off and the incoming call message detecting portion on if the terminal identification message is detected at the head of the slot assigned to the terminal.
