Abstract
When a handover apparatus of a user terminal enters a small scale cell within a macrocell area in a state that it is connected to a macrocell, the handover apparatus acquires a delay parameter of the small scale cell and delays handover for a time period of the delay parameter of the small scale cell and determines handover to the small scale cell. Thereby, handover to the small scale cell for a temporal user of the small scale cell can be reduced.
