A wireless communication system is disclosed that includes plural wireless base stations that act as an origin wireless base station and a destination wireless base station, and a wireless mobile station. The origin wireless base station starts a handover process in response to movement of the wireless mobile station, attaches a header including transfer order information to transmission packet data addressed to the wireless mobile station, and transfers the transmission packet data with the header to the destination wireless base station. The destination wireless base station receives the transmission packet data with the header, determines whether a transfer order of the transmission packet data is correct based on the transfer order information included in the header, deletes the header from the transmission packet data upon determining that the transfer order is correct, and transmits the transmission packet data without the header to the wireless mobile station upon completion of the handover process.
