Abstract

A mobile relay station (RS) and a handover method thereof are provided. When it is determined that a mobile RS performs handover from a superordinate base station (BS) to a target BS, information indicating admission of handover is received from the superordinate BS. The mobile RS transmits a service unavailability section to a subordinate terminal, whereby the subordinate terminal is prevented from performing handover to a different BS or a different RS.
