A communication system includes a movable terminal device and a plurality of communication devices configured to perform radio communication with the terminal device. The communication devices include a large-scale communication device having a first range in which communication with said terminal device is possible and a small-scale communication device having a second range in which said communication is possible. The first range is larger than the second range. A handover of the terminal device from the large-scale communication device to the small-scale communication device is prohibited whenever (a) the small-scale communication device is connected with the large-scale communication device by a dedicated line, (b) said small-scale communication device operates by using functionality of the large-scale communication device, or (c) the small-scale communication device is located within the first range of the large-scale communication device.
