Abstract
The present invention is characterized by that, at a reception section of a base station in a CDMA system including a reception antenna, a radio section and the number of demodulators corresponding to the number of users where spreading codes of a plurality of spreading factors are available, an algorithm diversity controller and a selector are prepared, information concerning spreading factors of spreading codes utilized by users and others are applied to the algorithm diversity controller, algorithm diversity controller instructs the number of demodulators prepared corresponding to the number of users and the selector, and when signals transmitted by a user utilizing a spreading code of a low spreading factor, i.e. signals with high symbol rate, are received, by demodulating signals with different reception methods or different parameters at demodulators leftover because of the low spreading factor, the demodulated signals of the best quality are selected.
