FIG. 6 shows the relationship between the density of radio base stations and the number of handovers according to the conventional method.

Each represents a wireless zone. The mobile station 5 originates a call at a point A in the figure and moves in the direction of the arrow. From the point B at which at least one of the reception level or the communication quality of the signal from the wireless base station 1 which is the communicating wireless base station becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value, the transmission waves of all other receivable wireless base stations in the vicinity are Start measurement of reception level and communication quality.

ドオーバする。[0017] The mobile station may be configured such that at least one of the reception level of the transmission wave of the peripheral radio base station at the point C and the communication quality is equal to or higher than the handover threshold value and the peripheral radio base station from the point B to the point C is located. Then, handover is performed to a radio base station in which the detection result of the fluctuation of the reception level or the communication quality of the communication base station is the maximum and at least one of the reception level and the communication quality of the transmission wave from the peripheral radio base station at the point C is the lowest.

ルや通信品質の変化は、無線基地局３の方が大きい筈で
ある。In the case of FIG. 1, three radio base stations, which are candidates for handover, are radio base stations 2, 3, and 4. Initially, when the radio base station 2 and the radio base station 3 are compared, the reception level or the communication quality is almost the same, but since the mobile station 5 is moving toward the radio base station 3, the reception level or the communication quality is low. The change in the communication quality should be larger in the wireless base station 3.
【００１９】そして、Ｂ地点では無線基地局３の方が無

いと考えられる。At the point B, since the radio base station 3 is located farther than the radio base station 2, the radio base station 3
Is lower than that of the radio base station 2. On the other hand, since the point C is almost equidistant from the base stations 2 and 3, the reception level or the communication quality is considered to be almost equal.
【００２０】しかし、Ｂ地点からＣ地点まで移動局が移

無線基地局３の方が無線基地局２より大きいから、無線
基地局３がハンドオーバ先の候補の一つとなる。However, the rate of change in the reception level or communication quality while the mobile station moves from point B to point C is:
Since the radio base station 3 is larger than the radio base station 2, the radio base station 3 is one of the candidates for the handover destination.
【００２１】先にも述べたように、無線基地局の方向に
向かって移動する方が、他の方向に向かって移動するよ
りも受信レベルや通信品質の変化の割合は大きいと考え
られるが、この点については、無線基地局３と無線基地
局４は、ほぼ、同じ条件といえる。As described above, it is considered that the ratio of the change in the reception level and the communication quality is larger when moving toward the radio base station than when moving toward other directions. In this regard, it can be said that the wireless base station 3 and the wireless base station 4 have substantially the same conditions.
【００２２】そこで、無線基地局３と無線基地局４の受
信レベルまたは通信品質を比較すると、移動局との距離
が遠い分だけ、無線基地局４の方が受信レベルまたは通
信品質が低い。そのため、無線基地局４が選択される。
よって、この場合のハンドオーバ先は無線基地局４とな
る。Therefore, comparing the reception level or the communication quality between the radio base station 3 and the radio base station 4, the reception level or the communication quality of the radio base station 4 is lower because the distance to the mobile station is longer. Therefore, the radio base station 4 is selected.
Therefore, the handover destination in this case is the radio base station 4.

と通信中の無線基地局との距離を評価するものである。Considering the moving direction of the mobile station and the distance from the currently communicating radio base station, the discriminant for handover to the optimal radio base station is given by f (i) = a (L '_ [i] -Lho ) + B
/ (L '_ [i] -L_ [i]) (a and b are constants).
In this equation, L '_ [i] -Lho of the first term evaluates the distance between the mobile station and the communicating radio base station.

The radio base station is closer to the zone end, and becomes smaller at the zone end. The second term, L '_ [i] -L_ [i], evaluates the angle between another radio base station and the moving direction of the mobile station.

This is for arbitrarily changing the weight of the term.
It depends on the settings of [i], L '_ [i], Lho [i], and the like. The following describes the handover control procedure and the meaning of the symbols used.

In the handover control method, when the mobile station moves to a first point at which at least one of the reception level of the signal from the communicating radio base station or the communication quality is equal to or lower than the first threshold value, Starting measurement of the reception level and communication quality of the transmission waves of all the other wireless base stations in the vicinity, at least the reception level or the communication quality of the signal from the wireless base station in communication from the first point. One examines the change of the reception level and the communication quality of the transmission wave of the peripheral radio base station until reaching the second point that is equal to or less than the second threshold value, At least one of the reception level or the communication quality of the transmission wave of the line base station is equal to or greater than the second threshold, and the rate of change in the reception level or the rate of change in the communication quality is the maximum, A handover control method is characterized in that a handover is performed to a radio base station having at least one of a reception level of a transmission wave of the peripheral radio base station and communication quality at the second point among the peripheral base stations.
