Abstract
A mobile station measures reception quality levels of individual peripheral cells of a source cell and transmits information of the measured reception quality levels of the individual peripheral cells to a source base station that manages the source cell. The source base station selects a group of cells that are to be handed over, based on the information of reception quality levels of the individual peripheral cells that is received from the mobile station, and transmits information of handover ready completion cells that are ready for handover in the selected group of cells to the mobile station. The mobile station selects a target cell that is to be handed over, based on the information of handover ready completion cells that is received from the source base station, and on the information of reception quality levels of the individual peripheral cells at that time.
