In a wireless communications system operating according to CDMA or the like, when one terminal simultaneously performs communication using multiple wireless resources (e.g., multiple carriers), there was a problem that when it was attempted to guarantee network mobility by the same soft handoff system as in the case where communication was performed using only one wireless resource, efficiency suffered from the viewpoint of network forwarding load, processing load and wireless resource occupancy time. Soft handoff termination is judged and soft handoff is forcibly terminated according to whether or not the data rate obtained for all resources on the network side satisfies a requested rate, based on a reception state notification from a terminal concerning wireless resources. By performing this processing, the soft handoff period is shortened, sufficient received strength in the terminal is maintained and terminal mobility is guaranteed, while at the same time network forwarding load, terminal processing load and wireless resource occupancy time are suppressed to the absolute minimum.

The present invention provides a new technique, according to which inefficient and redundant routing can be eliminated, which may occur when the fast handover is applied to network mobility and which may cause delay. According to this technique, a mobile router (MR) 210 makes the mobile node grasp the care-of address of the mobile router by performing route optimization to and from the mobile node (MN) 130 connected to the mobile network under its control. When the mobile node performs handover to another access network by fast handover, the mobile router tunnels a packet by using own care-of address as a source address—i.e. the packet, which has been sent from a correspondent node (CN) 140 and which is to be sent to an address before the handover of the mobile node (old care-of address)—and the packet is directly forwarded to the mobile node without passing through the home agent of the mobile router.
