Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mobile communication system with a hierarchy cell structure that provides a service to an existing mobile station and selects a proper radio base station in response to a mobile steed of the mobile station at all times. SOLUTION: A reception section 13 of a micro cell base station 11 during communication with a mobile station 50 receives a transmission signal from the mobile station 50 to detect a reception electric field strength and informs a control section 15 of the electric field information. The control section 15 generates two kinds of speed information from the electric field information and discriminates the quality deterioration of a communication channel. A signal for informing of the speed information and the quality deterioration is sent to a base station controller 40. The base station controller 40 discriminates a mobile speed of the mobile station 50 from each of the two kinds of the speed information and conducts hand-over to a macro cell base station 31 when one or both discrimination results indicate high speed moving of the mobile station. In the case that the quality deterioration takes place and that high speed movement is discriminated in response to a same speed of the mobile station 50, the hand-over is made to the macro cell base station 31 and made to a micro cell base station 21 in the other cases.

The mobile communication system according to claim 1, wherein when the numerical value exceeds the second threshold, the moving speed of the mobile station is determined to be high.
