Base station search method and mobile terminal apparatus

摘要

The present invention uses site diversity reception and RAKE combining reception for the method for a CDMA communication mobile terminal to carry out a cell search to search for a base station with which to communicate. Even if the reception power levels of synchronization acquisition signals sent from a plurality of base stations are lower than a predetermined threshold, in the case where the power level of a signal combining those signals is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold, the mobile terminal continues processing of requesting position registration to any one of the plurality of base stations and thereby improves communicability.
