Abstract
There is provided a method for a flow control to a mobile communication network in which an ATM virtual channel established between a first base station having a radio zone in which a mobile station exists and a terminating ATM node to which a remote station with which the mobile station communicates is connected. The first step of the method is to queue, in an ATM node, incoming cells to be sent to a second base station having a radio zone when the mobile station is handed over to the radio zone of the second base station. The second step of the method is to stop queuing and send the incoming cells queued in the ATM node to the second base station after the mobile station is handed over.
