Abstract
A hand-over control method is disclosed to control the change of connections between a radio communication terminal and a plurality of radio communication base stations for radio communication. The received power of a signal from a radio communication base station in a cell that that is subject to the influence of fading is likely to vibrate within a predetermined strength range. Even if a cell satisfies hand-over conditions, there is a greater likelihood that the cell is still subject to the influence of fading, if the received power is not exceeding this predetermined range The current received quality of a signal from a radio communication terminal in the cell is compared with last received quality of the signal from the radio communication base station when the radio communication terminal finished radio communication with radio communication base station. If the former quality is not higher than the latter quality by a predetermined level or more, the radio communication base station is determined to still be subject to the influence of fading, and hand-over is not performed. If, on the other hand, the former quality is higher than the latter quality by the predetermined level or more, the radio communication base station is determined not to be subject to the influence of fading, and hand-over is not performed.
