A decision is made as to whether to permit or reject communication with respect to 0, and the result of the decision is transmitted to the communication terminal apparatus 200 via one of the cellular radio transmitting / receiving sections 110, 111,...
- the communication terminal apparatus 200 that has received the determination result establishes communication with the cellular network if the determination result indicates that communication is permitted. On the other hand, if the result of the determination is rejection of communication, the communication terminal device 200, based on the result of the determination, continues communication with the hot spot network with which communication has been established up to that point. Do.
- the communication terminal device 200 when performing a handover between heterogeneous networks (for example, from a cellular network to a hot spot network), the communication terminal device 200 transmits management control information on the communication terminal device 200 to the Internet. Instead of 116, the communication terminal device 200 can pass from the cellular network to the hotspot network.
- the processing time is further reduced, and as a result, the time required for handover is also reduced. It will be. Since the management control information is passed from the cellular network to the hot spot network without passing through a route such as the Internet 116, the signal processing (Signaling) required for the delivery is small. Disappears.
- the security is ensured by passing the management control information from the cellular network to the hotspot network via the communication terminal 100, which is the party of the handover, without passing through the internet 116. Will be done.
- the IP bucket encapsulation unit 209 of the communication terminal apparatus 200 encapsulates the IP bucket, so that the format of the management control information can be applied to the application.
- the layer converts data according to the network of the transmission destination, there is no need for any work, so management control information can be easily transferred to the heterogeneous network via the communication terminal device 200 by processing only the IP layer. It becomes possible to deliver.
- the communication terminal apparatus 100 detects that the communication terminal apparatus 100 has entered the hot spot network service area by itself, that is, that the communication terminal apparatus 100 has moved to the destination for performing the handover.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and the communication terminal 100 reports its own position information obtained by GPS (Global Positioning System) or the like to a cellular network (that is, a source network system). If the cellular network receiving this report has the area information of the hot spot network to which the mobile network moves, the cellular network can also trigger a handover to the communication terminal apparatus 100.
- GPS Global Positioning System
- a case has been described where management control information on the communication terminal device 200 to be handed over is transferred to the handover destination network system via the communication terminal device 200.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and other communication terminal devices may be relayed and delivered.
- a case has been described in which a senerella network system and a hot spot network system are used as a plurality of network systems.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and various other network systems may be used. Network can be applied.
- the communication terminal device 200 a case has been described in which a wireless unit is shared by a plurality of network systems, but it may be provided independently.
- information on a communication terminal device used in a plurality of different network systems is relayed from one network system to another network system via the communication terminal device.
- handover between the communication terminal devices over the network can be performed more smoothly.
- the present invention can be used for a communication system in which a plurality of heterogeneous networks such as a wireless LAN and a mobile phone system are mixed, a communication terminal device used in the communication system, and a handover method.
