Abstract
A mobile radio apparatus includes a base station and a mobile station which communicate with each other by a hybrid code division multiple access scheme. The base station selects a hopping pattern in a frequency hopping method so as to completely avoid overlapping of a carrier for a forward link signal with a carrier for a reverse link signal at the same time, and transmits the forward link signal in a predetermined frequency band. The mobile station similarly transmits the reverse link signal. The mobile station has a multiplier for multiplying the forward link signal by a carrier at the same frequency as the carrier for the forward link signal to derive a received signal, a communication channel correlator for detecting a correlation of the received signal to separate a communication channel signal, a received power level detector circuit for detecting a received power level of the communication channel signal, and a transmission power level control signal for controlling a transmission power level of the reverse link signal, when transmitted to the base station, based on the received power level of the communication channel signal, using a carrier at the same frequency as the carrier for the forward link signal when the received power level of the communication channel signal is detected.
