A secondary station has a receiver capable of resolving signals received as a plurality of multipath signals from a plurality of base stations during a soft handover process. This capability may, for example, be provided by a Rake receiver. In order to decode and act upon the received signals in a very short period of time, signals ( 402 g ,402 h) arriving after a predetermined time are not processed by the receiver which is able instead to process weaker signals ( 402 d ,402 e) which arrived before the time (t<SUB>1</SUB>). Such a secondary station is particularly suitable for decoding and acting upon power control commands included in received signals in a UMTS system, for which a very limited period of time is provided by the UMTS specification. In this application the predetermined time (t<SUB>1</SUB>) is the time after which signals are received too late for use in determining the next power control change
