Abstract
A radio communication network that requires no connection between base stations during handoff or when the cell is overloaded, is realized by using a receiver that has a multi-user detection function and a transmitter for synthesizing control information and user data to output the synthesized data. Upon reception of a signal that is transmitted from a mobile station located on the boundary with a neighboring cell, the base station synthesizes user data for a mobile station in its local cell and control information for controlling the handoff operation to transmit the synthesized data. In response to this transmission, a mobile station in the neighboring cell separates the control information by multi-user detection to detect the signal and transmits a handoff request to the base station.
