Abstract
A handover control method carried out at a mobile station for switching a destination base station in a multi-hop network includes a reception step of receiving a communication signal and information of neighboring base stations used to identify a base station existing in the surrounding area of the base station transmitted from the base station, and a control step of controlling handover on the basis of the signal and information thus received. The control step includes a present destination decision step of deciding the base station currently connected, a switching decision step of using the information of neighboring base stations to decide whether or not the base station to be connected is to be switched over, and a switching step of switching over the base station to be connected on the basis of the decision result of the switching decision step. Thus unnecessary handover operations can be reduced.
