The invention provides a method of selecting a base station according to which optimal quality can be achieved in the communication between a mobile station and a communication destination by efficiently using resources of the entire wireless network, as well as a mobile station and a base station. The base station selection method selects one from a plurality of base stations connected to the relay server, for a connection with the mobile station. In the method, each base station retains abase station routing cost which is a cost for the path connecting the base station to the communication network. And the mobile station measures a toward-base station routing cost for the path between itself and each base station, calculates a total routing cost for each base station by adding the base station routing cost and the toward-base station routing cost, and selects a base station associated with a minimal total routing cost when establishing a relay connection with the communication network.
A base station selection method, in a communication network comprising a plurality of base stations relay-connected to the network and a mobile station connected to the base stations via radio channels, for selecting the most appropriate base station from a plurality of base stations for communicating with a mobile station when said mobile station establishes a relay connection with the communication network, comprising:
A mobile station that communicates with a plurality of base stations relay-connected to a communication network via radio channels, and selects the most appropriate base station from among said plurality of base stations when establishing a relay connection with said communication network, comprising:
A recording medium recording a program for having a computer execute a base station selection method, in a communication network comprising a plurality of base stations relay-connected to the network and a mobile station connected to the base stations via radio channels, of selecting the most appropriate base station from said plurality of base stations for communicating with said mobile station when said mobile station establishes a relay connection with the communication network, wherein,
