A home base station (HeNB) that supports LIPA (Local Internet Protocol Access) defined in the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) standards: transmits (step S103) information indicating that a user terminal has an LIPA connection in a handover request, to a target base station, by including the information in the handover request, when a handover procedure from the home base station to the target base station is started for the user terminal having the LIPA connection; and continues (steps S106, S107) the handover procedure without releasing the LIPA connection when the target base station permits the handover request.
