At the base station, the radio link is switched at a switching timing which is a prescribed period of time after each frame in which the switching timing information is changed, while at the mobile station the radio link is switched at a switching timing which is a predetermined period of time after each frame in which the changed switching timing information is detected.

Abstract: When data is transferred by using a plurality of time slots, the transferring period is shortened by adopting priority to assign the required number of slots. The base station BS which accepted packet P1 generates a "BUSY" signal and an echo at the final portion of the first time slot TS which begins at time t4. The base station BS, recognizing that there is a packet following the packet P1, generates a "RESERVED" signal at the final portion of the time slot TS which begins at time t5. The mobile station MS-A learns that the first time slot is assigned by recognizing the "BUSY" signal and the echo, and that the second time slot is also assigned by recognizing the "RESERVED" signal. Therefore, the first and second time slots are used successively for fast transferring.

This makes it possible to set a desired register state in a short time even if the desired code sequence is very long, and to generate any code sequences without changing the rate of a clock signal.
