Abstract:
1. A base station comprising: a handover controller configured to control a handover of a user equipment; and a format determining unit configured to: the second algorithm causes the format determining unit to determine a format that uses more communication resources for a same communication quality than the first algorithm; when executing the first algorithm, the format determining unit selects a first format when a quality of communication with the user equipment is equal to or larger than a first threshold, and selects a second format that uses more resources than the first format when the quality of communication with the user equipment is less than the first threshold; and when executing the second algorithm, the format determining unit selects the first format when the quality of communication with the user equipment is equal to or larger than a second threshold that is greater than the first threshold, and selects the second format when the quality of communication with the user equipment is less than the second threshold.
