In soft hand over in a code division multi access mobile radio
communication system, interference in a down link caused by transmission
from a plurality of base stations for one mobile station, can be
restricted. Control of transmission power is performed according to
command from the mobile station only in the base station serving as a
primary base station which has minimum propagation loss with the mobile
station during soft hand over, and the base stations other than the
primary base station perform transmission with restricting output. In
comparison with the transmission power control performed by the
conventional plural base station transmission, interference for the
peripheral mobile station can be reduced to achieve higher down link
capacity. Also, upon restricting transmission power of the base station
other than the base stations having small propagation loss with the
mobile station among base station group in soft hand over, by moderately
attenuating the transmission power instead of restricting abruptly,
degradation of the reception quality can be prevented when error is
caused in selection of the base station.
