Abstract
A communication control method applied to a mobile communication system, the mobile communication system including a home base station that forms a specific cell, and a mobility management device that performs verification of a user terminal for access permission to the specific cell in a handover procedure of the user terminal to the specific cell, comprises a step A of updating, by the user terminal, a list of a specific cell accessible by the user terminal; and a step B of omitting the verification of the user terminal by the mobility management device in the handover procedure when an elapsed time period after the update of the list is within a predetermined time period.
Claims11
A communication control method applied to a mobile communication system, the mobile communication system including:
- a home base station that forms a specific cell;
- and
- a mobility management device that performs verification of a user terminal for access permission to the specific cell in a handover procedure of the user terminal to the specific cell, the communication control method comprising:
- a step A of updating, by the user terminal, a list of a specific cell accessible by the user terminal;
- a step B of omitting the verification of the user terminal by the mobility management device in the handover procedure when an elapsed time period after the update of the list is within a predetermined time period;
- and
- a step C of transmitting, by the user terminal, a measurement report regarding the specific cell to a serving cell before the handover procedure,
- wherein in the step C, the user terminal transmits predetermined information on the elapsed time period or an update time of the list together with the measurement report.
A user terminal, which performs handover to a specific cell from a serving cell in a mobile communication system including a mobility management device that performs verification for access permission to the specific cell in a handover procedure to the specific cell, comprising:
- a control unit that controls to update a list of a specific cell accessible by the user terminal;
- and
- a transmission unit that transmits a measurement report regarding the specific cell to the serving cell,
- wherein the transmission unit transmits predetermined information on an elapsed time period after the update of the list or an update time of the list together with the measurement report.
A base station, which forms a serving cell of a user terminal in a mobile communication system including a mobility management device that performs verification for access permission to a specific cell in a handover procedure to the specific cell and the user terminal that updates a list of cells accessible by the user terminal, the base station comprising:
- a reception unit that receives, from the user terminal and before the handover procedure, (i) predetermined information on an elapsed time period or an update time of the list together with (ii) a measurement report regarding the specific cell;
- and
- a control unit that controls to omit verification, by the mobility management device, of the user terminal in the handover procedure when the elapsed time period after the update of the list is within a predetermined time period.
A home base station, which forms a specific cell in a mobile communication system including a mobility management device that performs verification for access permission to the specific cell in a handover procedure to the specific cell and a user terminal that updates a list of cells accessible by the user terminal, the home base station comprising:
- a reception unit that receives predetermined information on an elapsed time period or an update time of the list, from a base station forming a serving cell of the user terminal;
- and
- a control unit that controls to omit verification, by the mobility management device, of the user terminal in the handover procedure when the elapsed time period after the update of the list is within a predetermined time period;
- wherein the predetermined information is transmitted, from the user terminal to the serving cell, together with a measurement report regarding the specific cell, before the handover procedure.
