Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a handover technique, for supporting mobility of a terminal configuring a dual connectivity with multiple base stations in a small cell environment. More specifically, the present disclosure provides a method for controlling handover of a terminal, by a first base station configuring a dual connectivity with the terminal. The method may include determining handover of the terminal, transmitting, to a target base station, handover preparation information including radio resource configuration information of a cell associated with a second base station, receiving, from the target base station, a handover message including radio resource configuration information of a cell associated with the target base station, and transmitting an upper layer message included in the handover message to the terminal.
