A first network node (121S) is configured to perform mobility management and bearer management of a plurality of mobile terminals (111) having attached to the core network (120). Further, the first network node (121S) is configured to perform a relocation procedure for relocating the mobility management and the bearer management of the plurality of mobile terminals (111) to a second network node (121T) in the core network (120) in accordance with a relocation command from a control node (142) coupled to the core network (120). This contributes, for example, to relocation of mobility management and bearer management of a plurality of mobile terminals between network nodes regardless of the movement of those mobile terminals.
