Abstract
A gateway apparatus is disposed between base stations and a core network, and includes receiving and transmitting units. The receiving units receives in response to the start of a location change of a mobile station from a cell managed by a base station to another cell, a location change message including a transfer destination identifier indicating a base station control apparatus associated with another base station managing the another cell. The transmitting unit determines whether to transmit the message to one of the base stations or to the core network based on whether the transfer destination identifier matches an identifier of a base station control apparatus, and accordingly transmits the message.
