The base station includes a timing controller 107 and obtains an estimated downlink data rate (DRp), based on the downlink radio quality information, wherein, when the DRp is less than a rate for receiving the down link data from a network apparatus (DRp<DRr), the base station calculates a data transmission completion time period based on an amount of unsent data (Ar) and the estimated downlink data rate (DRp). When the mobile station performs a handover, the network apparatus is caused not to transmit the down link data, addressed to the mobile station, to the base station at and subsequent to time which is prior to switching (AT) the base station by the data transmission completion time period (Tstop=AT?Dcomp).
