  • Publication number: 20130223246
    Abstract: In a communication method of a mobile apparatus, the mobile apparatus having fixed mobile IP information and performing data communication with a first base station transmits communication environment information of the first base station and a second base station capable of performing data communication with the mobile apparatus to the first base station. The mobile apparatus determines whether the communication environment information of the second base station is better than that of the first base station. While maintaining the fixed mobile IP information of the mobile apparatus, the mobile apparatus receives data, in which network IP information of a base station for transmitting data is changed to IP information of the second base station, from the first base station. At the mobile apparatus, a network IP of a base station for data communication is changed from the first base station to the second base station.
