A mobile node is arranged to perform a high-quality hand-over operation
for eliminating an interruption time in communication and keeping the
continuance of communication excellent. The mobile node has a function of
interfacing with networks and includes a network quality monitor, a
hand-over controller, and a network controller. The network quality
monitor operates to monitor a network quality based on at least one of an
intensity and a radio bandwidth of a radio wave received by network
devices. The hand-over controller performs the hand-over operation of
transmitting a care of address to an address registering destination in
response to a state of the network quality before a communication is
disconnected, changing a route of communication information, and
switching a connecting destination into a new network. The network
controller receives a response that indicates an update of the care of
address in the address registering destination and keeping a function of
receiving data from the network before being switched until the
communication is disconnected.
