A neighbor sector is automatically set to effectively perform soft
handover. A base station corresponding to a first sector to communicate
with a wireless terminal and a base station corresponding to a second
sector to start communication with the wireless terminal due to movement
of the wireless terminal or the like transmit a terminal identifier
acquired from the wireless terminal, a time and a sector identifier to a
base station control part (control part in the following). The control
part successively stores the received sector identifier into a table
correspondingly to the terminal identifier and the time received from the
base station. Besides, the control part refers to the table, judges
whether different sector identifiers are stored in a previously
determined time range, regards a pair of the two different sector
identifiers as neighbor sector candidates and counts the number of times
they are regarded as the neighbor sector candidates. With respect to the
neighbor sector candidates in which the counted number of times is a
threshold or more, the control part transmits, to the base station
corresponding to one sector of the neighbor sector candidates, a change
request including the neighbor sector information concerning the other
sector.
