Abstract

A communication control method according to one embodiment comprises transmitting, by a first base station configured to manage a cell, a message to a second base station in a specific procedure; and storing, by the second base station that receives the message, information included in the message by associating with the cell. The information includes at least one of information related to a cell size of the cell and information related to a capability of the cell for dual connectivity communication.

Claims (14)

1. A communication control method, comprising:

transmitting, by a first base station, a handover request message for handover of a user terminal, to a second base station configured to manage a cell;

receiving, by the first base station, a handover request acknowledge message from the second base station, the handover request acknowledge message including first information related to a cell size of the cell and second information related to a capability of the cell for dual connectivity communication; and

determining, by the first base station, whether to handover the user terminal to the cell based on the first information and the second information.

2. The communication control method according to claim 1 ,

further comprising:

receiving, by the first base station, a measurement report from the user terminal.

3. The communication control method according to claim 1 , wherein

the first information related to the cell size of the cell includes at least one of the cell size of the cell, transmission power of the cell, and information indicating a possibility of the size of the cell being modified.

4. A base station, comprising:

a controller configured to perform processes of:

transmitting a handover request message for handover of a user terminal to another base station configured to manage a cell;

receiving a handover request acknowledge message from the another base station, the handover request acknowledge message including first information related to a cell size of the cell and second information related to a capability of the cell for dual connectivity communication; and

determining whether to handover the user terminal to the cell based on the first information and the second information.
