Abstract:
1. A mobile communication method comprising: finding a different radio base station already installed in a specific user network when a first radio base station is installed in the specific user network, the specific user network being a local area network (LAN); forming a group including the first radio base station and the different radio base station found by the first radio base station; determining a number of simultaneously-connectable mobile stations for the group by a network apparatus in a mobile communication carrier network, the network apparatus not being part of the user network; and restricting, by processing circuitry, a number of mobile stations simultaneously connected to the first radio base station and the different radio base station which belong to the group, based on the number of simultaneously-connectable mobile stations determined for the group, wherein, in the determining, the number of simultaneously-connectable mobile stations is determined based on a maximum transmission band of the user network and on a radio transmission rate between a mobile station and each of the first radio base station and the different radio base station so that a total sum of the radio transmission rates does not exceed a certain percentage of the maximum transmission band, and the number of simultaneously-connectable mobile stations corresponds to a maximum number of mobile stations connectable to the group.
