WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS METHOD

摘要

A wireless communications system includes a SeGW, a femto base station, and a macro base station. The SeGW is coupled to a higher-level station. The femto base station is coupled to the SeGW through a wired broadband connection. The macro base station is coupled to the SeGW through a dedicated line. The femto base station measures the quality of the wired broadband connection using first time information and second time information when a mobile station performs a handover from the macro base station to the femto base station. The first time information represents the time when data forwarded from the macro base station to the femto base station is transmitted. The second time information represents the time when the data is received.
