Abstract

At CRC comprising circuit 21, CRC evaluation results transmitted from base station BS#1 and base station BS#2 are compared. In the case where CRC signals are both OK signals or NG, TPC comprising circuit 22 compares TPC evaluation results i.e. the number of "0" symbols in TPC bits, transmitted from base station BS#1 and base station BS#2. And, in the case of no deference in TPC signals, the number of "0". symbols in TPC bits in earlier several frames is evaluated. According to the method described above, control station MCC selects a base station then obtain an information signal from the base station.
