Abstract

A handover method according to the present invention includes the steps of: forwarding, at a handover-source radio base station (eNB), user data (A) for a mobile station (UE) to a handover-target radio base station (eNB) when it is determined that a handover processing is to be performed, the user data (A) being stored in the handover-source radio base station (eNB); activating, at the handover-target radio base station, a predetermined timer when transmitting a path switch request to a path control apparatus, and storing second user data for the mobile station received from the path control apparatus until the predetermined timer expires; and forwarding, at the handover-target radio base station, the stored second user data to the mobile station after the predetermined timer expires.
