FIELD: radio engineering; power level control of signals transferred by remote-station base stations during macrodiversity. SUBSTANCE: during macrodiversity first and second base stations transmit messages concerning power level of received signal coming from mobile station to controller. The latter compares messages received and conveys relevant commands for power level adjustment to first and second base stations. Power level control commands are transmitted from remote station to base stations during macrodiversity not so often. Step value for power level adjustment by controller is also reduced during macrodiversity. EFFECT: enhanced control efficiency, reduced requirements to signal exchange between base stations and controller. 12 cl, 6 dwg
