Base station apparatus, access gateway apparatus, communication control system and communication control method

A communication control system comprising:

• a base station apparatus and an access gateway apparatus, the access gateway apparatus communicating with the base station apparatus for controlling communication with a radio terminal apparatus accommodated by the base station apparatus,
• the base station apparatus comprising:
• a receiving section that receives a paging request message addressed to the radio terminal apparatus, the paging request message being transmitted from the access gateway apparatus;
• a position registration judgment section that judges whether or not a radio link is possible with the radio terminal apparatus;
• a position registration section that registers, when a radio link is established, a first internet protocol address indicating the access gateway apparatus;
• and
• a transmitting section that transmits a paging reply message to the access gateway apparatus as a position registration request message for requesting registration of a second internet protocol address established in the base station apparatus without transmitting a separate position registration request message, and
• the access gateway apparatus comprising:
• a receiving section that receives the paging reply message, transmitted from the base station apparatus;
• and
• a position registration section that registers the second internet protocol address by processing the paging reply message as the position registration request message for requesting the registration of the second internet protocol address established in the base station apparatus without receiving a separate position registration request message.

A communication control method, for a communication control system comprising a base station apparatus and an access gateway apparatus that accommodates the base station apparatus, the method controlling communication with a radio terminal apparatus accommodated by the base station apparatus and comprising:

• in the base station apparatus:
• receiving a paging request message transmitted from the access gateway apparatus to the radio terminal apparatus;
• judging whether or not a radio link is possible with the radio terminal apparatus;
• registering, when a radio link is established, a first internet protocol address indicating the access gateway apparatus;
• generating, in response to the paging request message, a paging reply message indicating that the radio terminal apparatus is accommodated;
• and
• transmitting the paging reply message to the access gateway apparatus as a position registration request message for requesting registration of a second internet protocol address established in the base station apparatus without transmitting a separate position registration request message, and
• in the access gateway apparatus:
• receiving the paging reply message transmitted from the base station apparatus;
• and
• registering the second internet protocol address by processing the paging reply message as the position registration request message for requesting the registration of the second internet protocol address established in the base station apparatus without receiving a separate position registration request message.
