Mobile control device that performs handover control
First Claim
1. A mobile control device in a mobile communication system that performs handover control comprising:
- a handover base station candidate decision unit that selects one or more handover base station candidates based on a communication state;
a transmission unit that transmits communication data addressed to a mobile terminal to the one or more handover base station candidates under respective transmission conditions that are decided based on the respective communication capabilities of the one or more handover base station candidates; and
a handover base station decision unit that decides one of the plurality of handover base station candidates as a handover base station.

Abstract
A handover control method in a mobile communication system that performs handover control by switching base stations that communicate with a mobile terminal as the mobile terminal moves. In this handover control method, a mobile control device selects one or more handover base station candidates based on the communication state, and based on the communication capabilities of the handover base station candidates, decides a transmission rate for multicasting communication data, and transmits communication data to each of the handover base station candidates at the decided transmission rate, and a handover base station candidate that is decided as a handover base station sends the saved multicast communication data to the mobile terminal.
