Mobile communication system

Abstract

Abstract A mobile station (1) receives radio waves from all signposts (S) through the positioning channels while making communications using the voice channels. The signal levels of the radio waves thus received are subjected to comparison, so that a zone switching request is made to a signpost with the highest signal level, whereby a mobile station can make communication through that signpost which covers the zone where the mobile station is located, even while traveling. The positioning channels are so set that the frequencies assigned to the signposts are switched every frame in a time series mode, and none of the signposts transmit one and the same frequency at the same time. Therefore, the mobile station can receive radio waves from all the signposts without signal interference (which may be caused when a plurality of stations transmit signals equal in frequency). In the system of the invention, the transmission zones (Z) of adjacent signposts (S) overlap each other. When a zone switching request is made, a mobile station can therefore make communications with both of the signposts; that is, the switching of zones can be positively achieved.
