Abstract

A mobile communication system includes a line control station, and a plurality of base stations belonging to a plurality of clusters so that each of the clusters includes a plurality of base stations. Each of the clusters includes a cluster control station which is connected to the line control station via a line and controls the base stations within the cluster to which the cluster control station belongs. In addition, each of the base stations within one cluster is connected to other base stations within the one cluster and/or the cluster control station within the one cluster via lines, so that each of the base stations within the one cluster is directly or indirectly connected to the cluster control station within the one cluster.
