The communication delay notifying unit 304 notifies the terminal device of the acquired communication delay information for at least a part of the candidate base stations. The communication delay notifying unit 304 may, for example, notify the terminal device of information regarding the communication delay for all candidate base stations, and may notify the terminal device of information regarding the communication delay for the candidate base station in which the communication delay does not exceed a predetermined value. Note that the information regarding the communication delay may be information indicating the communication delay itself, or information such as whether it is sufficient to execute a predetermined application.
The handover control unit 305 executes a handover control based on the information on the communication delay. When, for example, the terminal device measures the radio quality and reports the radio quality based on information on the communication delay described above, the handover control unit 305 may start the process for the handover of the terminal device according to such report. Note that the process for the handover executed here is the same as that used conventionally, and thus detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.
