Protocol terminating method, control signal terminating server apparatus, and mobile communication system
First Claim
1. A protocol terminating method in a mobile communication network comprising a plurality of switching devices and a plurality of base stations connected to the switching devices, wherein, while a mobile terminal to wirelessly communicate with the base stations is in a communication by a soft handover, a terminal endpoint of a protocol for control of the soft handover is relocated in changing a switching device to another as a branch/combining point of data on a communication route of the communication.
