## Abstract

Provided is a mobile communication system in which a SIPTO@LN capable LGW is selected and a PDN connection is established during a GW selection process of an MME in a PDN connection establishment procedure. A home base station device acquires identification information of an access control device and availability information of offload of the access control device through a local network, a position managing device receives information including the identification information of the access control device and the availability information of offload of the access control device from the home base station, makes a request for establishment of PDN connection, the position managing device selects an offload possible access control device, based on the request from the mobile station device, the identification information of the access control device, the availability information of offload of the access control device, and information of the home base station device, and establishes the PDN connection between the access control device and the mobile station device.

## Claims

wherein the home base station device transmits an UPLINK NAS TRANSPORT message including a first LHN identifier and authorization information indicating that the SIPTO is available, and/or a second LIIN identifier and authorization information indicating that the LIPA is available, to the position managing device,
wherein the position managing device
receives the UPLINK NAS TRANSPORT message,
manages the access control device to be capable of the SIPTO, if the first LHN identifier and the authorization information indicating that the SIPTO is available are included in the UPLINK NAS TRANSPORT message, and
manages the access control device to be capable of the LIPA, if the second LI-IN identifier and the authorization information indicating that the LIPA is available are included in the UPLINK NAS TRANSPORT message,
wherein the mobile station device transmits a request for establishment of PDN connection of the SIPTO, to the position managing device,
wherein the position managing device selects the access control device, and establishes a first PDN connection between the access control device and the mobile station device, based on the request for establishment of PDN connection of the SIPTO from the mobile station device, the first LHN identifier, and the authorization information indicating that the SIPTO is available,
wherein the mobile station device transmits a request for establishment of PDN connection of the LIPA, to the position managing device, and
wherein the position managing device selects the access control device, and establishes a second PDN connection between the access control device and the mobile station device, based on the request for establishment of PDN connection of the LIPA from the mobile station device, the second LHN identifier, and the authorization information indicating that the LIPA is available.

### Claim 7
