A method of treating a handover in a bridge-based radio access station
backbone network including a plurality of base station bridges each
including a two-tiered switch connected with a plurality of radio access
stations, a plurality of SCBs (Site Core Bridges) each composed of
two-tiered switch for constituting the core network, and an HLR (Home
Location Register) for managing the structural information of the network
constituents. The SCB stores the terminal information containing the
receiving address of the initial terminal registration message and the
SCB to delete the terminal information in response to a disconnection
message of the terminal caused by handover, to request the SCBs in the
terminal end of the old MAC-in-MAC tunnel to delete the tunnel
information and the terminal information, and to inform the HLR of
initiating the handover to change the registered operational state of the
terminal.
