Abstract
In a mobile communication system, a base station of a cell transmits neighboring cell information to a mobile station located in the cell. The mobile station monitors signals of neighboring cells based on the information. The neighboring cell information includes identification information on the cell in which the mobile station is located and on the neighboring cells thereof; and ranks for monitoring the respective cells. When a reception signal level of a signal transmitted by the base station of the cell in which the mobile station is located becomes equal to or below a given threshold value, the mobile station monitors a signal of a corresponding neighboring cell. The neighboring cell information may include specific reception signal levels for the respective neighboring cells instead of the ranks.
