Patent ID: 8498644

Claim:
A wireless communication system comprising: a macrocell base station device; a micro base station device serving a cell having a region including at least a part of a region of a cell served by the macrocell base station device; and a mobile station device, wherein one of the macrocell base station device and the micro base station device comprises: a reporter configured to report, to the mobile station device, micro base station information indicating one or more micro base station devices to which the mobile station device is enabled to perform a handover, and the mobile station device comprises: a handover destination selector configured to select a handover destination from among the one or more micro base station devices based on the micro base station information reported, wherein one of the macrocell base station device and the micro base station device comprises: a communication state detector configured to detect a frequency of handover instances which the mobile station device has performed between the mobile station device and the micro base station device; a handover determining unit configured to determine, based on a result of detection by the communication state detector, whether handover to the micro base station is to be enabled for the mobile station device, and the reporter is configured to generate and report the micro base station information based on a result of determination by the handover determining unit, wherein the reporter is configured to generate and report, when a predetermined duration elapses from the time the micro base station information is generated and reported, micro base station information indicating that a handover to the micro base station device is enabled, regardless of the result of the detection by the communication state detector.
