Abstract
The present invention notifies of an EARFCN in an equivalent band by means of an SIB 5 while minimizing the increase in overhead. A mobile communication method according to the present invention includes: a step in which a radio base station eNB in a cell #1 notifies, by means of the SIB 5, of a band #2 and an equivalent band #21 that can be supported in a cell #2 adjacent to the cell #1; and a step in which a mobile station UE assumes that access in the cell #2 is prohibited when having determined that the mobile station does not support the band #2 and the equivalent band #21.
Claims2
A mobile communication method comprising a step in which a radio base station in a first cell notifies, by means of broadcast information, of an E-UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (EARFCN) as well as a band overlapping with the EARFCN that can be supported in a second cell adjacent to the first cell.
A mobile station comprising a reception unit which is configured to receive broadcast information from a radio base station in a first cell, the broadcast information notifying of an E-UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (EARFCN) as well as a band overlapping with the EARFCN that can be supported in a second cell adjacent to the first cell.
