Abstract

In a communication system, a UE and an MeNB perform both a direct communication and a communication through a SeNB. Along with moving of the UE, a handover process of switching the MeNB to which the UE is connected, from an S-MeNB to a T-MeNB is performed. The connection between the UE and the SeNB is maintained during the handover process. The UE starts transmitting data to the SeNB before a communication path between the UE and the MeNB is changed from a path formed by the S-MeNB and the UE to a path formed by the T-MeNB and the UE.
