FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to mobile communication. The method includes a relay node receiving a first area identifier which identifies the relay node; sending a system information broadcast message carrying the first area identifier to a terminal in a coverage area; receiving a handover request message forwarded by a control base station; and performing, according to the handover request message, a control operation of accessing the relay node on the terminal. The first area identifier which identifies the relay node is allocated to the relay node, so that the terminal in the relay network can be normally handed over from the base station to the relay node.
EFFECT: facilitating handover from a base station to a relay node.
