Patent ID: 8050702

Claim:
A mobile station for communicating with a plurality of base stations including a main branch base station and a sub branch base station, the mobile station comprising: an RF transceiver section for receiving main information, as an object of communication between users, from the main branch base station through a main information downlink channel, receiving first sub-information for maintaining a communication state, through a sub-information downlink channel from the main branch base station to the mobile station, and transmitting second sub-information for maintaining the communication state through a sub-information uplink channel from the mobile station to the sub branch base station; a communication method determining section for determining whether or not a closed loop transmit diversity can be applied, according to the first sub-information transmitted from the main branch base station, so as to generate the second sub-information including feedback information for making the base station control transmission of the first sub-information to maintain quality associated with the reception of the first sub-information and transmit the generated second sub-information to the sub branch base station; a communication base station determining section for determining whether or not the sub-information downlink channel and the sub-information uplink channel are connected to the plurality of base stations; and a transmission power control section for controlling a transmission power of the sub-information uplink channel from the mobile station to the sub branch base station, only on the basis of the first sub-information from the main branch base station through the main information downlink channel, when the communication method determining section determines that the closed loop transmit diversity can be applied, and when the communication base station determining section determines that the sub-information downlink channel and the sub-information uplink channel are connected to the plurality of base stations; wherein the first sub-information includes transmission power control information for controlling the transmission power of the sub-information uplink channel, and the first sub-information is received through the sub-information downlink channel that is a downlink control channel.
