A wireless communication network can reliably deliver high priority
broadcast information from base stations to mobile terminals located deep
in building and those located in scarcely populated areas that are remote
from the base stations. Each of the base stations of the wireless
communication network comprises a broadcast information input unit for
receiving high priority broadcast information and a transmission power
changing unit for changing the transmission power of the downlink common
channel when high priority broadcast information is input to it. As
broadcast information is input, the transmission power changing unit
changes the transmission power of the downlink common channel so as to
boost the effective radiation power used by the downlink common channel
of the base station at places in the coverage of the base station that
are subjected to a propagation loss. The effective radiation power to the
mobile terminals located at places in the coverage of the base station
that are subjected to propagation loss is boosted to raise the reception
level of the mobile terminals located at such places.
