Abstract

Provided is a handover apparatus and method for a terminal based on a received signal strength (RSS) and a radial velocity. The handover method may measure an RSS from a currently accessed base station and RSSs from candidate base stations for handover, may measure a radial velocity with respect to the currently accessed base station and radial velocities with respect to the candidate base stations for handover, and may perform a handover by determining a base station for handover based on the measured RSSs and the measured radial velocities when the RSS from the currently accessed base station is less than or equal to a reference RSS.
