Abstract:
1. A mobile communication method in a mobile communication system in which a macro cell where first broadcast information is transmitted using a first frequency geographically overlaps at least partially with a femtocell where second broadcast information is transmitted using a second frequency, the method comprising: step A of detecting the first broadcast information by a femtocell radio base station that manages the femtocell; step B of, in response to the detection of the first broadcast information, transmitting guiding broadcast information by the femtocell radio base station using the first frequency in a pilot cell that geographically overlaps with the femtocell; and step C of performing a handover or cell reselection to the femtocell by a mobile station communicating in the macro cell, when the mobile station detects the guiding broadcast information.
