Abstract: The invention is intended to, even in a situation where there are many candidate wireless base stations (WBSs) to which a mobile terminal (MT) may connect, get information of communication conditions between the MT and each of those WBSs and determine an WBS to which the MT should connect in a shorter time. A coverage area of the first WBS is overlapped partially at least by a coverage area of the second WBS. The MT transmits a signal for connection using a predetermined frequency. Upon receiving the signal for connection, the second WBSs each notify the WBS communication manager of their reception results of the signal for connection. The WBS communication manager selects a second WBS to communicate with the MT based on the reception results and notifies the selected second WBS to transmit a response signal to the signal for connection to the MT.

Abstract: A base station performs an association between frequency range and combinations of a plurality of base stations including an local base station to notify a terminal of the association. According to the notified association, the terminal, for each frequency, calculates quality of communication with one base station or quality of communication with the combination of the plurality of base stations. The base station and the control station determine the base station/the plurality of base stations that communicate with the terminal, the wireless resource and the transmission scheme, based on the result. Further, the base station selects whether to notify an entirety of or a part of the association to the terminal using positional information of the terminal. Since the association information that is unnecessary for the terminal is not communicated, it is possible to further lighten the load of control.

If the different second base station other than the first base station to which the terminal connects detects a large interference, the second base station will multicast transmit information for urging handover to the base stations except itself. The base station having received the information specifies a terminal giving the interference to the second base station, and makes it to be handed over thereto.
