A mobile communication system has a circuit network (28), a plurality of reception base stations (26) connected to said circuit network (28), and a transmission base station (32) connected to said circuit network, for sending a radio wave to respective areas covered by said mobile communication terminals (26). When communications are performed between two mobile communication terminals (30), information is sent upstream from one of the mobile communication terminals (30) in an area (A) via the closest reception base station (26) to the circuit network (28), and then sent downstream from the circuit network (28) via the transmission base station (32) on a radio wave to the other mobile communication terminal (30) in an area (C). Since the radio wave sent from the transmission base station (32) reaches all areas (A, B, C, D) covered by the respective reception base stations (26), each of the mobile communication terminals (30) is not required to send a radio wave for indicating its own location. As no upstream traffic is needed for sending such a radio wave, the traffic of the circuit network (28) is greatly reduced. <IMAGE>
