Abstract
A mobile communication system includes a plurality of base stations in a communication service area connected to a packet communications network. A mobile station communicates with a second station through the plurality of base stations and the network. The mobile communication system determines a virtual base station group as an aggregation of the plurality of base stations communicating with the mobile station, based on a condition of a radio transmission path between the mobile station and each base station, and combines information received by the plurality of base stations that belong to the virtual base station group at a base station included in the virtual base station group. The network connects the plurality of base stations non-hierarchically and the base station transmits combined information to the second station through the network relative to combined packets having the second station as a destination.
