Abstract
In a control apparatus, a network IF acquires position information of a terminal that exists in both of a macro cell and a small cell, and position information of a terminal that exists in the macro cell. A control unit then identifies the terminal that exists in a peripheral area including an area corresponding to the small cell based on the position information of the terminals. The control unit then notifies the identified terminal of a control signal that starts cell search about the small cell through the macro cell.
