9. A terminal apparatus for receiving control information delivered by a delivery apparatus wherein upon detecting a second delivery apparatus for delivering to a portion of multiple delivery areas of the delivery apparatus, the delivery station delivers system information as control information, the system information excluding a portion of the system information required to connect to a radio communication system available in an area where the second delivery apparatus is responsible for delivering the control information together with information indicative of the second delivery apparatus, comprising:
-
a reception unit configured to receive the control information from the second delivery apparatus based on the information indicative of the second delivery apparatus in the control information transmitted from the delivery apparatus; a determination unit configured to determine whether the terminal apparatus belongs to the area where the second delivery apparatus is responsible for delivering the control information based on the control information received at the reception unit from the second delivery apparatus; and a connection unit configured to, if the determination unit determines that the terminal apparatus belongs to the delivery area of the second delivery apparatus, connect to the second delivery apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
