A branch candidate selecting method by a mobile station and a diversity handover control method on a network side in DHO performance are provided which consider a maximum cable branch number and maximum radio branch number of the mobile station, when the mobile station detects the plurality of addition branch candidates and deletion branch candidates. The mobile station inserts a plurality of addition branch candidates and deletion branch candidates, that is, all the DHO candidates into one handover trigger signal, and notifies the network. The addition branch candidates are put into addition information parameters in the handover trigger signal, and the deletion branch candidates are put into deletion information parameters. To simplify processing on the network side, the network side separates the addition branch candidates from the deletion branch candidates, and carries out sequential processing of them independently.

What is claimed is: 1. A diversity handover control method in a mobile communication system including a mobile station, a plurality of base stations, and a center connected to said plurality of base stations, said mobile communication system carrying out diversity handover in which said mobile stat
What is claimed is: 1. A diversity handover control method in a mobile communication system including a mobile station, a plurality of base stations, and a center connected to said plurality of base stations, said mobile communication system carrying out diversity handover in which said mobile station communicates with said plurality of base stations simultaneously, said diversity handover control method comprising the steps of: monitoring, at said mobile station, radio condition quality corresponding to a plurality of branches; selecting, at said mobile station, one or more addition branch candidates based on the monitored radio condition quality; arranging, at said mobile station, said addition branch candidates in order of the monitored radio condition quality; notifying, from said mobile station to said center, information on said plurality of branches including said addition branch candidates, said addition branch candidates being notified in the arranged order; and establishing, at said center, one or more communicating branches for the diversity handover by trying to establish those one or more communicating branches by using said notified addition branch candidates in the arranged order. 2. A diversity handover control method in a mobile communication system including a mobile station, a plurality of base stations, and a center connected to said plurality of base stations, said mobile communication system carrying out diversity handover in which said mobile station communicates with said plurality of base stations simultaneously, said diversity handover control method comprising the steps of: monitoring, at said mobile station, radio condition quality corresponding to a plurality of branches; selecting, at said mobile station, one or more addition branch candidates based on the monitored radio condition quality; obtaining, at said mobile station, a relative value of each of said addition branch candidates indicative of order of precedence to be used for the diversity handover based on the monitored radio condition quality of said addition branch candidates; notifying, from said mobile station to said center, information on said plurality of branches including said addition branch candidates and their relative values; and establishing, at said center, one or more communicating branches for the diversity handover by trying to establish those one or more communicating branches by using said notified addition branch candidates in the order indicated by their relative values. 3. A diversity handover control method as claimed in claim 2, further comprising the steps of: selecting, at said mobile station, one or more deletion branch candidates based on the monitored radio condition quality; notifying, from said mobile station to said center, information on a plurality of branches including said one or more deletion branch candidates; and deleting, at said center, one or more communicating branches which are being used for the diversity handover by using said notified deletion branch candidates, wherein each of said plurality of branches comprises a radio branch between said mobile station and one of said base stations, and a cable branch between one of said base stations and said center, and when a communicating branch is deleted, a cable branch of the communicating branch is deleted after a radio branch of the communicating branch is deleted. 4. A diversity handover control method as claimed in claim 2, wherein said plurality of branches include one or more communicating branches, each of said plurality of branches comprises a radio branch between said mobile station and one of said base stations, and a cable branch between one of said base stations and said center, and when the sum of the number of communicating branches and the number of addition branch candidates exceeds the maximum number of radio branches which can be established simultaneously, said center establishes one or more communicating branches for the diversity handover by trying to establish those one or more communicating branches by using said notified addition branch candidates in the order indicated by their relative values, up to the maximum number of cable branches which said center can process simultaneously. 5. A diversity handover control method as claimed in claim 4, wherein said plurality of branches include one or more deletion branch candidates, said diversity handover control method comprises the step of deleting, at said center, one or more communicating branches which are being used for the diversity handover and correspond to said deletion branch candidates, and when the sum of the number of communicating branches not including said deleted communicating branches and the number of addition branch candidates exceeds the maximum number of radio branches which can be established simultaneously, said center establishes one or more communicating branches for the diversity handover by trying to establish those one or more communicating branches by using said notified addition branch candidates in the order indicated by their relative values, up to the maximum number of cable branches which said center can process simultaneously. 6. A diversity handover control method as claimed in claim 2, further comprising the steps of: storing, at said center, one or more notified addition branch candidates which are not established in said try to establish the communicating branches for the diversity handover; selecting, at said mobile station, one or more deletion branch candidates based on the monitored radio condition quality; autonomously releasing, at said mobile station, communication branches of said deletion branch candidates; and notifying, from said mobile station to said center, the release of the communication branches, wherein when said center is notified of the release of the communication branches, said center establishes one or more communicating branches for the diversity handover by trying to establish those one or more communicating branches by using said stored addition branch candidates in order indicated by their relative values.
