ことができる。According to the present invention, under the control of the base station apparatus, the mobile station causes the mobile station to measure the reception level of the perch channel of the neighboring cell, and the reception level exceeding the first predetermined reception level is obtained. The level difference between the level and the maximum reception level is the first
A cell having a reception level smaller than the predetermined level difference is detected, the cell is connected to the mobile station, and the mobile station measures the reception levels of a plurality of cells during simultaneous communication. A cell whose level difference is larger than a second predetermined level difference is larger than a second predetermined level difference, and a line for the cell is disconnected, so that a large communication channel transmission power near a base station is used. Since it is no longer necessary to select and connect a cell that requires a signal for handover, it is difficult to interfere with communication of other cells with a large transmission power, and it is possible to increase the subscriber capacity and to increase the reception level. Since the connection with the smaller difference is connected and the connection with the larger difference is disconnected, the flutter of handover can be suppressed, and the handover is further controlled by the base station. Because doing over control in the mobile station, determining, processing the base station of memory and the like can be performed commonly, it is possible to simplify the configuration and processing of the mobile station.
