FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: handover method includes steps where: a base station (BS) determines whether carrier components corresponding to one or more cells to be accessed are in the same frequency band, such that the one or more cells to be accessed belong to a target BS, and are selected by a terminal which performs the cell handover and is served by the source BS; if yes, the source BS encapsulates configuration information of all the cells in the one or more cells to be accessed in a handover command for initiating cell handover; otherwise, the source BS encapsulates configuration information of one or more cells in the one or more cells to be accessed in the handover command, and sends the handover command to the target BS.
EFFECT: providing adaptive selection of cell handover algorithms in a communication system which supports carrier aggregation.
