To make it possible for a legacy user equipment to correctly generate and use a common key between a user equipment and a base station and between the user equipment and a relay node when the relay nodes are being introduced. An HO request processing unit (202) extracts user equipment information from an HO request input from a receiver (201). A user equipment information determination section (204) determines a mode of handover from the user equipment information, and outputs a determination result to a key generator (205), a key information update request preparation section (206), and an HO command generator (207). In a case of handover from one base station to a relay node of another base station or to the other base station, the user equipment information determination section (204) commands the key information update request preparation section (206) to prepare a key information update request to a high-level management node so as to update the key information. |
