摘要

PURPOSE: An apparatus and method for controlling a handover based on centralized control between a communication network and a broadcast network are provided to request a handover from a user terminal group which is watching broadcasting contents. CONSTITUTION: If the handover of a user terminal group is determined, a target network selecting unit(220) selects a target transmission network which is supposed to transmit broadcasting contents. A transmission unit(240) transmits a message requesting the transmission preparation for the broadcasting contents to the target transmission network. A transmission and reception unit transmits a handover request message to the user terminal group which requests the handover from the target transmission network.
