Abstract

Abstract A cellular type mobile communication system comprises a plurality of cells (11, 12), a plurality of base stations (21, 22) disposed in the respective cells, and a mobile station (61A; 62A) moving in the cells. On reception of a control command for a transmission power from the mobile station, each base station (21, 22) increases or decreases (S104, S105) the transmission power (P) in response to the control command. In addition, each base station (21, 22) renews (S106) the transmission power (P) so that the transmission power (P a ) after increased or decreased approaches a predetermined reference power (C).
