A base transceiver station of a soft handover destination node does not
perform control by using Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, and a base
transceiver station of a soft handover origin node sends data to a mobile
node according to control performed by using Hybrid Automatic Repeat
Request when the soft handover occurs. A radio network controller sends
data destined for the mobile node only to the base transceiver station of
the soft handover origin node. When the data is transferred from the base
transceiver station of the soft handover origin node, the radio network
controller transfers the data to the base transceiver station of the soft
handover destination node. When a request to resend the data is received
from the base transceiver station of the soft handover destination node,
the radio network controller transfers the resend request to the base
transceiver station of the soft handover origin node.
