Abstract:
1. A radio communications system for transmitting same data from an upper node to a plurality of cells via a plurality of base stations, and performing a soft combining or a selective combining on the same data received by a mobile station, the radio communications system comprising: an upper node synchronization controlling unit, at the upper node, configured to control synchronization processing on transmission timing of the same data among the plurality base stations based on a transmission delay time of a downlink between the upper node and the plurality of base stations; and a base station synchronization controlling unit, at each of the plurality of base stations, configured to control synchronization processing on transmission timing of the same data among the plurality of base stations based on a transmission delay time of a downlink between each of the plurality of cells, wherein the upper node synchronization controlling unit is configured to control the synchronization processing on transmission timing by a second accuracy, the base station synchronization controlling unit is configured to control the synchronization processing on transmission timing by a first accuracy, and the first accuracy by which the synchronization processing on transmission timing is controlled is higher than the second accuracy by which the synchronization processing on transmission timing is controlled.
