Abstract
A communication control method applied to a mobile communication system including a gateway device that is positioned between a core network and home base stations to control the home base stations, comprises: a selecting step of selecting, by the gateway device, a home base station to be deregistered in the control of the gateway device from among the home base stations; and a transmitting step of transmitting, by the gateway device, deregistration information indicating the deregistration to the home base station selected in the selecting step.
Claims3
A communication control method applied to a mobile communication system including a gateway device that is positioned between a core network and home base stations to control the home base stations, the method comprising:
- selecting, by the gateway device, a home base station to be deregistered in a control of the gateway device from among the home base stations;
- and
- transmitting, by the gateway device, deregistration information indicating a deregistration to the home base station selected in the selecting, wherein
- in the selecting, the gateway device preferentially selects, as the home base station to be deregistered, a first home base station or a second home base station,
- the first home base station is the home base station not having a communication channel passing through the gateway device between base stations with another base station not in the control of the gateway device, and
- the second home base station is the home base station not being adjacent to another home base station in the control of the gateway device.
A gateway device that is positioned between a core network and home base stations to control the home base stations, the gateway device comprising:
- a selector configured to select a home base station to be deregistered in a control of the gateway device from among the home base stations;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit deregistration information indicating a deregistration to the home base station selected by the selector,
- wherein
- the selector is configured to preferentially select, as the home base station to be deregistered, a first home base station or a second home base station,
- the first home base station is the home base station not having a communication channel passing through the gateway device between base stations with another base station not in the control of the gateway device, and
- the second home base station is the home base station not being adjacent to another home base station in the control of the gateway device.
A gateway device that is positioned between a core network and home base stations to control the home base stations, the gateway device comprising:
- a comparator configured to compare a predetermined parameter of the gateway device with a threshold value;
- a selector configured to select a home base station to be deregistered in a control of the gateway device from among the home base stations when the predetermined parameter exceeds the threshold value;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit deregistration information indicating a deregistration to the home base station selected by the selector,
- wherein the predetermined parameter is
- a number of the home base stations registered in the control of the gateway device, or
- a load level of the gateway device.
