1. A mobile telephone system comprising:
- a plurality of base radio stations,each of said plurality of base radio stations having a service zone in which said base radio station connects a mobile radio station in said service zone to a telephone subscriber;
at least one mobile radio station;
a common radio channel control unit for controlling all of said plurality of base radio stations;
cables connecting said radio channel control unit with each of said plurality of base radio stations;
telephone lines connecting said radio channel control unit to a desired telephone subscriber through private branch exchange equipment;
a zone register provided in said radio channel control unit for storing identifications of all said mobile radio stations in association with identifications of the service zones to which said mobile radio stations belong;
means for broadcasting a request signal of zone registration from a first transceiver in said mobile radio station;
means for receiving said request signal by second transceivers in each of said plurality of base radio stations;
signal strength detectors provided in each of said plurality of base radio stations for measuring respective field intensities of said request signal, wherein said signal strength detectors comprise an analog to digital converter for converting an analog voltage corresponding to said field intensity to a digital signal;
means for transmitting to said mobile radio station said measured values of said respective field intensities;
means for comparing at said mobile radio station the measured values of said respective field intensities and determining a highest measured value of received measured values of said respective field intensities;
means for transmitting a response signal from said mobile radio station to a selected base radio station, the selected base radio station being that one of said plurality of base radio stations that has transmitted the highest measured value to said mobile radio station;
means for reporting said response signal from said selected base radio station to said radio channel control unit; and
means for revising contents of said zone register in said radio channel control unit in accordance with said response signal, wherein a signal indicating completion of said revision of contents of said zone register in said radio channel control unit is transmitted from said radio channel control unit for reception by said mobile radio station.

Abstract
In a service area of a mobile telephone system, there are plural base radio stations. A mobile radio station in the service area broadcasts a request signal of zone registration. All the base stations in the service area receive this request signal, measure the field intensity of the signal, and transmit the value of the measured intensity to the mobile radio station. The mobile radio station transmits a response signal to a base radio station where the field intensity is the highest. This response signal is reported to a radio channel control unit where the contents of the zone register is revised in accordance with the reported response.
