The present invention relates to a radio communications system which transmits same downlink information to a plurality of cells by using downlink common channels. The radio communications system includes a radio network controller and a base station. The radio communications system is configured to measure delays between the time when the radio network controller transmits the downlink information and the time when the base station transmits the downlink information to each of the plurality of cells; and to control timing for transmitting the downlink information to each of the plurality of cells by the base station in accordance with measured delays.
