Base station and method

A base station that performs radio communication with a mobile apparatus, comprising:

• a reconnection setting information generation unit configured, in a case where handover is requested from a first base station, after a reconnection request signal is received from the mobile apparatus, to generate reconnection setting information to be used for specifying the mobile apparatus;
• a transmission unit configured to transmit a reconnection request signal generated by the reconnection setting information generation unit to the first base station;
• a receiving unit configured to receive reconnection setting information to be used for specifying the mobile apparatus from a second base station that is a destination of handover of the mobile apparatus after the second base station receives a reconnection request signal from the mobile apparatus;
• a reconnection setting information holding unit configured to hold the reconnection setting information received by the receiving unit;
• and
• a reconnection processing unit configured to perform reconnection processing with the mobile apparatus by using the reconnection setting information held in the reconnection setting information holding unit in accordance with a reconnection request signal from the mobile apparatus after initial connection processing between the second base station and the mobile apparatus.
