Abstract

A mobile communication scheme realizing highly reliable handover and improved service quality. The communication signals containing identical communication data are transmitted simultaneously from the mobile station to more than one base stations at a time of the handover, such that reception signals are composed from the communication signals received by more than one base stations by using the reliability information for the received communication signals. For the packet communication, the identification information for identifying each packet is attached to each packet, and the reliability information for each packet is measured, such that the reception packets can be obtained according to the identification information attached to each packet and the reliability information measured for each packet.
