Patent number: 7664458Abstract: A table identifying a correspondence between a cell and a main base station accommodating the cell is prepared in a node (wireless network control apparatus or main base station) within a radio access network. When a terminal is moved and enters an overlapped area of cells (a) and (b) from an original cell (a), where a main base station (to which the terminal was connected in the cell (a) can accommodate the cell (b) that the terminal has entered, the sub base station is connected to the main base station, and site diversity is performed in the main base station.
