It comprises a mobile base station which is arranged within the mobile vehicle and which serves at least one mobile cell provided in the mobile vehicle, internal antenna means arranged within the mobile vehicle for providing communication with the mobile stations in the mobile vehicle and external communication means for providing communication between the mobile vehicle and the core network. When the mobile base station and the mobile cells handled thereby are stationary within a fixed cell, at least for a given time period, the mobile base station is docked in said fixed cell such that handovers are allowed between the mobile cell served by the mobile base station and the fixed cell. The invention also relates to a method of providing mobile stations in a mobile vehicle with radio coverage and to a communication system comprising such an arrangement.
