Abstract
The radio communication system has a user equipment, a first base station, a second base station, a serving gateway, and a switching station. The first base station has a control-plane path set to the switching station. The second base station has no control-plane path to the switching station. A path setting determiner determines whether to set a user-plane path, based on measurement information reported from the user equipment. A base station determiner determines, based on identification information obtained by the user equipment, whether a base station to which the user-plane path is to be set is the second base station, the base station corresponding to the obtained identification information.
