Abstract

See full text

Disclosed herein are an apparatus for providing handover information within a femtocell network, and a terminal using the same. The apparatus includes an expected stay time calculation unit, a handover target selection unit, and a handover information provision unit. The expected stay time calculation unit, for a terminal located within serving coverage range of a serving base station, calculates expected stay time, that is, a time for which the terminal will stay within a femtocell coverage range of each of the femtocell base stations. The handover target selection unit selects a handover target from among the femtocell base stations based on the calculated expected stay time. The handover information provision unit provides the terminal with handover information including the selected handover target.
