Abstract
A first base station wirelessly communicates with a terminal. A second base station predicts a handover interval based on handover history information upon receiving from the first base station a handover request for performing a handover of the terminal to the second base station, where the handover interval indicates a time period from a first handover time at which a first handover of the terminal is performed from the first base station to the second base station, to a second handover time at which a second handover of the terminal is performed from the second base station to another base station, and the handover history information indicates a history of handovers that have been performed by the second base station. Then, the second base station determines whether a handover of the terminal to the second base station is permitted or not, based on the predicted handover interval.
