A table identifying a correspondence between a cell and a main base
station accommodating the cell is prepared in a node (wireless network
control apparatus or main base station) within a radio access network.
When a terminal is moved and enters an overlapped area of cells (a) and
(b) from an original cell (a), where a main base station (to which the
terminal was connected in the cell (a) can accommodate the cell (b) that
the terminal has entered, the sub base station is connected to the main
base station, and site diversity is performed in the main base station.
When site diversity is performed between main base stations in a radio
access network using a base station in which a baseband processing
section is separated from a radio transmission/reception section, traffic
flowing between the wireless network control apparatus and the base
station is reduced.
