Abstract
A mobile communication system wherein a mobile station measures the distances between the mobile station and a plurality of adjacent radio base stations each from a time difference, eliminated by a fixed time difference, between the top time position of a time-divided CDMA burst signal received from a radio base station and the top time position of a time-divided CDMA burst signal transmitted to the radio base station in response to an instruction from the radio base station so that the top of the time-divided CDMA burst signal may come to the top time position of a time slot, and utilizes a result of the measurement for a hand-over discrimination, and frame synchronization between the radio base stations is established with a high degree of accuracy so that a plurality of radio base stations may operate in a same frame synchronization condition.
