Abstract
[Object] To make it possible to further increase a possibility of a success in a handover. [Solution] A first apparatus of the present invention includes: a first communication processing unit configured to transmit reference signals using beamforming; and a second communication processing unit configured to receive a handover message from a source base station of a handover of a terminal apparatus. The handover message includes beam related information related to a beam. The first communication processing unit is configured to receive an access signal of the terminal apparatus based on the beam related information.
