selects from other mobile stations located in the wireless zone in common with the local station, singular or plural P of mobile station(s) satisfying predetermined criteria according to procedure of said channel control; and

performs channel control necessary for the selected mobile stations to operate as said determination stations.

82. The mobile station equipment according to claim 82, wherein:

said channel controlling means associates with said radio base station through said radio interfacing means;

selects from other mobile stations located in the wireless zone in common with the local station, singular or plural P of mobile station(s) satisfying predetermined criteria according to procedure of said channel control; and

performs channel control necessary for the selected mobile stations to operate as said determination stations.

83. The mobile station equipment according to claim 83, wherein said channel controlling means performs channel control necessary for the mobile station to operate as a determination station by associating with said radio base station through said radio interfacing means, when a mobile station operating instead of any one of said singular or plural P of mobile station(s) is selected by said radio base station.

85. The mobile station equipment according to claim 85, wherein said channel controlling means performs channel control necessary for the mobile station to operate as a determination station by associating with said radio base station through said radio interfacing means, when a mobile station operating instead of any one of said singular or plural P of mobile station(s) is selected by said radio base station.

86. A mobile station equipment comprising:

a radio interfacing means forming radio transmission paths between the radio interfacing means and a radio base station, and for sending and receiving transmission information through said radio transmission paths;

a channel controlling means associating with said radio base station through said radio interfacing means to perform channel control adapted for wireless zone; and

a determination target station positioning means radio-determining location of a determination target station, which is a mobile station, and wherein

said channel controlling means notifies to all or some of singular or plural P of determination station(s) to be the basis of said radio determination of said determination target station, a location which is radio-determined by said determination station positioning means, through said radio-interfacing means, in which said determination station(s) are mobile station(s), and perform desired determination of said determination target station.

87. The mobile station equipment according to claim 87, wherein said determination target station positioning means performs radio determination through radio channels assured desired transmission quality under channel control performed by said channel controlling means and

discards a result contained in results of said radio determination, said result indicating transmission quality of applied radio channels below a predetermined lower limit.

88. A mobile station equipment comprising:

a radio interfacing means forming radio transmission paths between the radio interfacing means and a radio base station, and for sending and receiving transmission information through said radio transmission paths;

a channel controlling means associating with said radio base station through said radio interfacing means to perform channel control adapted for wireless zone,

a determination station positioning means radio-determining locations of a singular or plural P of determination station(s) which is located in a wireless zone in common with a local station and which is to be a basis for radio determination of a determination target station, in which the determination station(s) and the determination target station are mobile stations, and wherein

said channel controlling means notifies locations of all or some of said singular or plural P of determination station(s) individually radio-determined by said determination station positioning means, through said radio-interfacing means, to all or some of said determination stations and said determination target station in which said determination station(s) perform desired determination of said determination target station.

89. The mobile station equipment according to claim 89, wherein said determination station positioning means performs radio determination through radio channels assured desired transmission quality under channel control performed by said channel controlling means and

discards a result contained in results of said radio determination, said result indicating transmission quality of applied radio channels below a predetermined lower limit.

90. A mobile station equipment comprising a radio interfacing means forming radio transmission paths between the radio interfacing means and a radio base station, and for sending and receiving transmission information through said radio transmission paths and

a channel controlling means associating with said radio base station through said radio interfacing means to perform channel control adapted for wireless zone, wherein

said channel controlling means performs, through said radio interfacing means, a relay of information which relates to a radio determination, in one or both of:

between a determination target station to be an object of radio determination and a singular or plural P of determination station(s) to be the basis of said radio determination, among mobile stations located in a wireless zone common with a local station and/or

between said plural P of determination stations,

in which the determination station(s) and the determination target station are mobile stations.
