1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a second device communicatively coupled to a second apparatus, connection information regarding a first apparatus communicatively coupled to a first device;
transmitting, by the second device, the received connection information to the second apparatus;
receiving, by the second device, a command from the second apparatus to communicatively decouple from the second apparatus and to communicatively couple to the first apparatus in response to a determination that a signal strength of the first apparatus included in the connection information is higher than a specific value;
communicatively decoupling, by the second device, from the second apparatus in response to receipt of the command from the second apparatus; and
generating, by the second device after the first device is communicatively decoupled from the first apparatus, a network connection between the first apparatus and the second device based on the received connection information regarding the first apparatus,wherein the first apparatus includes a first base station and the second apparatus includes a second base station.

9. A second device, comprising:
-
a receiver to; receive, from a first device, connection information regarding a first base station communicatively coupled to the first device; and receive, from a second base station communicatively coupled to the second device, a command to communicatively decouple from the second base station and to communicatively couple to the first base station; a determination unit, communicatively coupled to the receiver, to; determine whether the connection information regarding the first base station corresponds to route information of the second device; in response to a determination that the connection information regarding the first base station does not correspond to the route information of the second device, control the receiver to stop reception of the connection information; and in response to a determination that the connection information regarding the first base station corresponds to the route information of the second device, control the receiver to continue reception of the connection information; and a connection control unit, communicatively coupled to the receiver and the determination unit, to; in response to the determination that the connection information regarding the first base station corresponds to the route information of the second device, select a part of the received connection information based on the route information of the second device; communicatively decouple from the second base station in response to receipt of the command from the second base station; and communicatively couple to the first base station based on the selected part of the received connection information after the first device is communicatively decoupled from the first base station. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system, comprising:
-
a first device; a second device communicatively coupled to the first device via a wireless network; a first apparatus communicatively coupled to the first device; and a second apparatus communicatively coupled to the second device, wherein the second device; receives, from the first device, connection information regarding the first apparatus; transmits the received connection information to the second apparatus; receives a command from the second apparatus to communicatively decouple from the second apparatus and to communicatively couple to the first apparatus, in response to a signal strength of the first apparatus included in the connection information being higher than a signal strength of the second apparatus; communicatively decouples from the second apparatus in response to receipt of the command from the second apparatus; and communicatively couples to the first apparatus based on the received connection information regarding the first apparatus after the first device is communicatively decoupled from the first apparatus, and wherein the first apparatus includes a first base station and the second apparatus includes a second base station. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
