Abstract: A base station is configured including an internal bus to connect a terminal section, transceivers that perform control and management of information to be transmitted or received and carries out radio communication at a predetermined radio frequency and on a predetermined communication method, and a controller connecting section that executes communication with a base station controller. The transceivers each comprise a transmitter/receiver section that transmits and receives radio waves at a predetermined radio frequency and using a predetermined communication method, and a logical control unit that performs control of the transmitter/receiver section and interference detection.

Abstract: In a mobile radio telephone system having multiple base stations controlled by a single line control unit, all base stations use a single common control channel in addition to their voice channels to communicate with a mobile station. If a calling signal from a mobile station is received by two or more base stations at once on the common control channel, the base station with the highest received signal level is selected. If voice signal quality becomes degraded during a call, the call is handed off to the base station with the highest received signal level.
