A mobile terminal which can be connected to a plurality of base stations with different mobile communication systems, includes a handover determination section that determines a handover execution between cells provided by the plurality of base stations, a transmission rate control section that changes a transmission rate before a handover when the handover execution is determined, and a report creation section that creates a measurement report including information regarding the handover after the transmission rate is changed, and transmits the measurement report to a base station of a cell to which the mobile terminal is currently connected.

Mobile terminal and method for controlling rate change

A terminal apparatus () which is a radio transmitting/receiving apparatus receives, from a femto cell base station (home eNB), a pilot channel signal for reception quality measurement and a synchronization channel signal for synchronization. The terminal apparatus () has a whitelist stored therein indicative of an accessible femto cell, and determines whether or not a CSG cell of handover destination is accessible based on a PCI of the CSG cell acquired from the synchronization channel and the whitelist. The terminal apparatus () then adds the PCI and a CGI to a measurement report for reception quality, and transmits the measurement report to a macro eNB (base station apparatus ()). In this way, it is possible to suppress wasteful signaling and prevent unnecessary resources from being reserved even when two or more CSG cells that use the same PCI are present in the macro cell.
