Mobile communication method and radio base station

A mobile communication method, comprising a step of deciding, by a second radio base station, a method for performing a handover of a mobile station from a cell subordinate to the second radio base station to a cell subordinate to a first radio base station, wherein

• in the step, the second radio base station considers an X2 handover as the method for performing the handover, when registered-group identification information of the cell subordinate to the first radio base station is the same as registered-group identification information of the cell subordinate to the second radio base station and when an access mode of the cell subordinate to the first radio base station is not “Open”.

A mobile communication method, comprising a step of deciding, by a second radio base station, a method for performing a handover of a mobile station from a cell subordinate to the second radio base station to a cell subordinate to a first radio base station, wherein

• in the step, the second radio base station considers an Si handover as the method for performing the handover, when registered-group identification information of the cell subordinate to the first radio base station is different from registered-group identification information of the cell subordinate to the second radio base station and when an access mode of the cell subordinate to the first radio base station is not “Open”.

A radio base station, comprising a handover processing unit configured to decide a method for achieving a handover of a mobile station from a cell subordinate to a radio base station to a cell subordinate to a neighboring radio base station, wherein

• the handover processing unit is configured to consider an X2 handover as the method for performing the handover, when registered-group identification information of the cell subordinate to the neighboring radio base station is the same as registered-group identification information of the cell subordinate to the radio base station and when an access mode of the cell subordinate to the first radio base station is not “Open”.

A radio base station, comprising a handover processing unit configured to decide a method for achieving a handover of a mobile station from a cell subordinate to a radio base station to a cell subordinate to a neighboring radio base station, wherein

• the handover processing unit is configured to consider an S1 handover as the method for performing the handover, when registered-group identification information of the cell subordinate to the neighboring radio base station is different from registered-group identification information of the cell subordinate to the radio base station and when an access mode of the cell subordinate to the first radio base station is not “Open”.
