Abstract

A Micro-cell is formed to include a plurality of spot-cells. Communication is executed between a micro-cell base station and a mobile terminal in the micro-cell, and between a spot-cell base station and the mobile terminal in the spot cell. The micro-cell base station and spot-cell base stations are connected to an integrated base station. A signal transmitted to the micro-cell base station from the mobile terminal is transferred to the integrated base station and information transmitted to the mobile terminal is transferred to the micro-cell base station and/or spot-cell base station from the integrated base station. The respective integrated base stations are connected to a server via a dedicated backbone to enable a large-capacity transmission.
