Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for a terminal to perform a handover in a cloud radio access network (C-RAN), including the steps of: receiving information on at least one candidate remote radio head (RRH); measuring the strength of received signals from at least one candidate RRH and a serving cell for the terminal; and, when the strength of the received signals from the candidate RRH and the serving cell of the terminal satisfy a predetermined relationship according to the measured result, transmitting feedback information, including the measured result, to the candidate RRH.
