Abstract
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a mobile communication system comprises a plurality of cellular stations configured to each form areas and a control device configured to connect the cellular stations to a network through communication resources. The control device comprises a construct processing module, a prediction processing module, a secure processing module and an establishment processing module. The construct processing module constructs a database storing hand-off records in time series of a plurality of the mobile terminals. The prediction processing module predicts one or more candidates of cellular stations of connection destinations next to the mobile terminals with reference to the time series of the database before hand-offs are requested. The secure processing module secures channels in the communication resources of the predicted candidates. The establishment processing module establishes communication links via the secured channels among the mobile terminals and the network when hand-off execution is requested.
