FIELD: information technology. ^ SUBSTANCE: low power transmission mode is provided in a mobile terminal. The method involves steps of transmitting an access request to a base station; receiving, in response to the access request, from the base station a request to transmit using a low power transmission mode; communicating with the base station using a reduced transmit power level. The request from the base station comprises a request to disable a base station search function. Invention can be applied in power sensitive environments, e.g. inside an airplane or a hospital. ^ EFFECT: possibility of using mobile telephones in power sensitive environments. ^ 19 cl, 6 dwg |
