APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TERMINAL HANDOVER TO DIFFERENT TYPE OF SYSTEM IN A BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A device and a method for performing handover of a terminal between systems using a different frequency band are provided to reduce time and power needed for scanning by performing unnecessary scanning operation. A terminal transmits an indication signal for informing presence to surroundings after initial access(205). When a handover command message to a small-size base station is received from a base station, the terminal performs a handover procedure to the small-size base station(209).
