Summary:Disclosed is a technique allowing a communication terminal, even after a handover between different types of networks, to determine whether a communication that was in progress in an access network connected before the handover can be resumed or not. In order to receive an incoming CS call during a connection to a PS domain (E-UTRAN 101), a user terminal (UE 100) has to connect to a CS domain (UTRAN 102). When the UE has a LIPA (local IP address) in the PS domain, for example, the UE may not continue LIPA traffic in the CS domain after the CS call. In the present invention, a network performs buffering of LIPA traffic for certain duration, for example, and informs the UE of this condition, whereby the UE can securely determine whether the LIPA traffic is still kept after the CS call.
