A method for connecting the radio link between a mobile station and a base
station is provided to improve quality of received signals at the base
station and the mobile station. A radio network controller (RNC) monitors
the difference between the reception power of signals from the source
base station BS1 and the destination base station BS2. If the base
station BS2 is incapable of directional beam signal transmission and
reception, and when the reception power difference becomes smaller than a
first handover threshold, the radio network controller adds the base
station BS2 as a radio link connection destination of the mobile station.
If the base station BS2 is capable of directional beam signal
transmission and reception, and when the reception power difference
becomes smaller than a second handover threshold, which is larger than
the first handover threshold, the radio network controller adds the base
station BS2 as a radio link connection destination of the mobile station.
