In order to reduce an unnecessary handover process incident to a sudden change in communication quality, a collection circuit collects information as to the signal quality between a mobile station and respective base stations. A learning circuit learns data for judging handover, based on the signal quality. A determination circuit determines matching between the data for judging the handover and the signal quality collected by the collection circuit. A handover control circuit performs control on handover between the mobile station and a base station brought to a handover additional or deletion candidate of the mobile station, based on the result of determination by the determination circuit.
