Abstract

A processing apparatus operates aiming to realize handover to each mobile station while reducing a failure rate of the handover even when PSC Confusion is generated. More specifically, when a connection of the mobile station is switched from a first base station to a second base station, the processing apparatus determines the second base station by selecting from a plurality of base stations according to connection history information indicating a success or a failure of past switching of the connection from the first base station to at least one of the plurality of base stations.

Claims (12)

1. A method of operation by a Home Node B (HNB), comprising:

including a Primary Scrambling Code (PSC) of a cell served by the HNB in a first HNB Application Part (HNBAP) message that is a HNB REGISTER REQUEST message:

transmitting the HNB REGISTER REQUEST message including the PSC to a Home Node B Gateway (HNB-GW) configured to connect another Home Node B (HNB) that is different from the HNB transmitting the HNB REGISTER REQUEST message; and

receiving a second HNB Application Part (HNBAP) message that is a HNB REGISTER ACCEPT message in response to the HNB REGISTER REQUEST message.

2. A home Node B Gateway (HNB-GW) comprising:

a unit configured to connect to a Home Node B (HNB);

a receiver configured to receive a first HNB Application Part (HNBAP) message that is a HNB REGISTER REQUEST message including a Primary Scrambling Code (PSC) of a cell served by the HNB; and

a transmitter configured to transmit a second HNB Application Part (HNBAP) message that is a HNB REGISTER ACCEPT message in response to the HNB REGISTER REQUEST message including the PSC.

3. A Home Node B (HNB) comprising:

a unit configured to include a Primary Scrambling Code (PSC) of a cell served by the HNB in a first HNB Application Part (HNBAP) message that is a HNB REGISTER REQUEST message;

a transmitter configured to transmit the HNB REGISTER REQUEST message including the PSC to a Home Node B Gateway (HNB-GW) configured to connect another Home Node B (HNB) that is different from the HNB transmitting the HNB REGISTER REQUEST message; and

a receiver configured to receive a second HNB Application Part (HNBAP) message that is a HNB REGISTER ACCEPT message in response to the HNB REGISTER REQUEST message.
