Abstract
A handover processing system in mobile communication system, implemented in gateway connected to subscriber network including base station in the mobile communication system, public network and IP network and accompanied by movement of radio terminal in the mobile communication system, wherein the gateway comprises line exchanger performing line exchange processing, VoIP connection unit controlling communication function to transmit/receive IP-packetized data to make communication and call control function for the VoIP communication function, handover detector determining whether or not call originating request from the base station is handover call, communication call detector determining whether or not communication source call of handover is present, call information storage unit storing call information, handover source call retriever retrieving handover source call in IP network, and handover processor taking over communication call from communication partner to continue the communication, and performing handover processing of VoIP communication call.

13. A gateway device which is connected to a subscriber network including a base station in a mobile communication system, a public network and an internet protocol (IP) network, the gateway device comprising:
-
a handover processing unit executing a handover operation when a radio terminal, in communication with a communication partner, moves between cells in the mobile communication system; a line exchange connection unit performing line exchange processing; a voice over IP (VoIP) connection unit controlling a communication function to transmit/receive IP-packetized voice data to/from the IP network to carry out communication and call control functions for VoIP communications; a handover detection unit determining whether or not a call originating request from the base station is a handover call; a communication call detection unit determining whether a handover source call is present in the same gateway or whether it is originated in another gateway device or the public network; a call information storage unit storing call information including caller information, recipient information, call references and call types; and a handover source call retrieval unit retrieving the handover source call from another gateway device via the IP network; whereby, when the handover source call originates in another gateway device the handover source call retrieval unit acquires information relating to the communication partner of the source call from said other gateway device through the IP network rather than the public network. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
