==Original Abstract Submitted==

There is provided a communication apparatus functioning as a node that relays a communication between a User Equipment and a base station. The communication apparatus comprises: decision unit configured to decide, in a state in which the User Equipment and the communication apparatus are Radio Resource Control (RRC)-connected and the communication apparatus is connected to a first base station, whether to switch the base station, to which the User Equipment is connected via the communication apparatus, from the first base station to a second base station; and request unit configured to request, in a case where the decision unit decides to switch the base station connected to the User Equipment to the second base station, the User Equipment to release the RRC connection.
