<p>A mobile communication system comprising a base station for informing the peripheral cell information of a cell under local service along with the current position of a mobile station under service and the vertex coordinates of the cell under local service, and a mobile station for estimating the position of the local station in the cell under service based on the current position and the vertex coordinates thus acquired, stopping to monitor the receiving levels of peripheral cells when the local station is located at the central point in a cell under local service and starting to monitor the receiving levels of peripheral cells according to the peripheral cell information thus acquired when the local station is located at a boundary point in a cell under local service. Since the mobile station can omit measuring of the receiving levels of peripheral cells at the central point in a cell under service and measuring of the receiving levels of peripheral cells located in a direction opposite to the moving direction at a boundary point, power can be saved in the mobile station and the size thereof can be reduced.</p> |
