Communication system, base station device, gateway device, method for controlling base station device, and method for controlling gateway device, for enabling to connect user terminal to appropriate core network from among plurality of core networks when making or receiving call

A gateway device that connects a base station device that connects to a user terminal by a wireless line to a plurality of core networks, comprising:

• a registration unit that carries out a process of registration of said base station device in core networks and that receives from said base station device, list information of core networks, to which said base station device is to be connected;
• a data management unit that holds said list information that was received by said registration unit;
• and
• a call control unit that carries out processes of call origination from said user terminal and call connection to said user terminal, and in said call origination process, receives from said base station device, by means of a message of an end-to-end protocol used for communication between a base station device and a gateway, network identification information that indicates core networks that are to be connected with said user terminal, and transfers a control message from said user terminal to core networks indicated by said network identification information that was received, and in said call connection process, selects a base station device to which paging from said core networks is to be transmitted based on said list information that is held by said data management unit.

A gateway device control method for controlling a gateway device that connects a base station device that connects with a user terminal by a wireless line to a plurality of core networks, comprising steps of:

• in a process of registration of said base station device in core networks, receiving from said base station device, list information of core networks to which said base station device is to be connected;
• in a process of holding said list information;
• in a process of call origination from said user terminal, receiving from said base station device, by means of a message of an end-to-end protocol used for communication between a base station device and gateway, network identification information that indicates core networks that are to be connected to said user terminal;
• transferring a control message from said user terminal to core networks that are indicated by said network identification information that was received;
• and
• in a process of call connection to said user terminal, selecting a base station device to which paging from said core networks is to be transmitted based on said list information that is held.
