摘要:
A handover control apparatus includes routers (118 to 126) relaying data to a base station and hierarchically connected to the upper node of edge routers (102 to 116) provided for each base station and a gateway apparatus (130). A router (126) which is COR located nearer to a radio terminal device is specified as a relay router among the COR where all the paths reaching CN (132) as a communication partner from each of the edge router (104) as a mobile origin of the radio terminal device (100) and all the edge routers (102, 106) serving as mobile destination candidates are intersected. Thus, it is possible to easily reduce the handover processing time.
摘要:
When a handover is performed with a radio terminal apparatus (30) striding over base stations (34, 36), among edge routers (40, 42) provided in base stations (34, 36), respectively, an edge router (40) which has been connected to a radio terminal device (30) prior to movement instructs a relay router (48) connected to the edge router (40) and all the edge routers (42) of the base station (36) becoming a movement destination candidate to hold data from a communication partner. The data held by the relay router (48) by the instruction is instructed to be transferred to the radio terminal device (30) after movement after the handover and the held data is transferred to the radio terminal device (30). Thus, it is possible to realize packet data transfer to the radio terminal device after movement in the handover control via an optimal route, thereby effectively using the network resource and simplifying the handover processing.
