Abstract: Communication apparatuses T1 to T3 are mutually located in the communication areas of one another and by exchanging data, respectively have the same data D1 to D3. Each of the communication apparatuses T executes connection processing of connecting to a network N via a base station BS. When any one among the communication apparatuses T1 to T3, such as T2, is able to connect to the network N, the communication apparatus (T2) transmits the data D1 to D3 to respective destination and transmits to the other communication apparatuses (T1, T3), information that indicates that the data D1 to D3 have been transmitted. The other communication apparatuses (T1, T3), upon receiving the information, realized that the data D1 to D3 have been transmitted and thus, suspend connection processing to connect to the network N.

Then, the control unit receives, with priority, the cell information relating to the cell stored in the cell information storage area, which has been detected and which belongs to the position registration area where previous position registration has been executed.

Abstract: In a base station, after CRC is added to transmission data as a detection code, the transmission data is subjected to error-correcting coding using a convolutional code based on tail biting, divided into four frames of P-BCH and transmitted. For this reason, at a mobile station, even if reception (synthesis) is started from any frame of P-BCH represented as (b-1) to (b-4), a cyclic structure of the transmission signal is maintained due to the tail biting and reception data shifted by unit of frame can be obtained. For this reason, at the mobile station, even if a leading frame is unknown, decoding can be executed by one-time error-correcting decoding. A result of the decoding is subjected to CRC detection in four frame timings, the leading frame is detected and the transmission data is restored.
