Abstract
A mobile communication system transmitting data in frame unit includes a base station apparatus and a terminal apparatus. The transmitter has a controller having consecutive first and second frames each divided into a first interval and a second interval following the first interval. In a handoff mode, the controller transmits respective frame data in the first interval of the first frame and the second interval of the second frame and stops transmission of the data in the second interval of the first frame and the first interval of the second frame. Further, the terminal apparatus (i.e., mobile station) includes a receiver for processing received data, a handoff determiner for determining a handoff target base station by analyzing a strength of the received signal, and a controller applying to the receiver a signal transmitted from a present base station in the first interval of the first frame and the second interval of the second frame and applying to the handoff determiner signals transmitted from other base stations in the second interval of the first frame and the first interval of the second frame.
