Abstract
A radio communication apparatus capable of solving a problem involved in a conventional apparatus in that in addition to a first receiver, a second receiver must be provided for establishing synchronization with a contiguous base station, which causes an increase in a circuit scale and consumed power of a mobile station. The present radio communication apparatus switches, when carrying out handoff from the current base station to a contiguous base station, a receiving frequency of a receiver from the frequency of the current base station to that of the contiguous base station, and a counter to be corrected by a synchronization manager from a first counter to a second counter that is used to establish synchronization with the contiguous base station.
