Abstract
When a handover request for performing a handover of a terminal () from a macro cell Cto a CSG cell Cis received from an SeNB(S), a base station (TeNB) () of the CSG cell Ctransmits a handover response in accordance with a handover enabled/disabled state (S). The handover response includes an identifier of the terminal () in the CSG cell C. Upon receiving the response, the SeNB () notifies the identifier to the terminal () (S). The TeNB () repeatedly transmits a dedicated signal containing a handover command via a dedicated channel set using the identifier at an interval shorter than a gap period (S). Accordingly, whether or not access is permitted can be judged promptly and a smooth handover can be realized.
