Abstract:
1. A terminal apparatus, comprising: a communication unit configured to communicate with a base station apparatus; an acquisition unit configured to acquire a moving speed of the terminal apparatus and a quality of communication performed by the communication unit; and an instruction unit configured to determine an execution of a handover based on the quality of communication or the moving speed acquired by the acquisition unit and instruct the communication unit to perform the handover, wherein: the communication unit is configured to perform a plurality of types of communications including at least guaranteed communication or best-effort communication; and the instruction unit selects quality of communication as a parameter when guaranteed communication is performed in the communication unit so as to determine the execution of a handover when the quality is lowered to a level below a first threshold, and selects moving speed as a parameter when best-effort communication is performed in the communication unit so as to determine the execution of a handover regardless of quality when an absolute value of variation in the moving speed is larger than a second threshold.
