Abstract

It is desired to carry out CDMA communication using an optimum spread code for minimizing inter-channel interference according to communication conditions. For this purpose, under condition that a communication area covered by a base station is variable, notification of spread code reassignment is issued while communication is being made between the base station and a mobile terminal. Thereafter, a currently assigned spread code is changed so as to reduce interference between a channel used for communication in progress and another channel. In spread code reassignment, an adjustment is made to provide the same long code for channels which would otherwise incur significant interference.
