Abstract
In a radio tele-communication system of this invention, at least one radio frequency is shared by a plurality of base stations and a plurality of mobile stations, a signal transmitted at the radio frequency has a time frame constituted by a plurality of time-divisionally multiplexed time slots, and time intervals for detecting timing shifts are set between the plurality of time slots. In at least either the base stations or mobile stations, a communication timing shift in a time slot currently used for communication is detected from a reception state in one of the time intervals for detecting timing shifts, and the communication timing of the corresponding time slot is corrected in cooperation with a station, with which communication is performed, on the basis of the communication timing shift detection result.
