Patent ID: 8897738

Claim:
A mobile communication system comprising: a home radio base station which provides a home cell, wherein the home cell restricts access from a first mobile station and allows access from a second mobile station; a first macro radio base station which provides a first macro cell wherein the first macro cell uses a same frequency as the home cell and the home cell is within a coverage area of the macro cell; a second macro radio base station which provides a second macro cell, wherein the second macro cell uses a different frequency from the home cell and the first macro cell; and a network device that includes circuitry configured to, when the second mobile station communicating via the second macro cell enters within a coverage area of the first macro cell and the second mobile station is in a coverage area of the home cell, the second mobile station is caused to perform handover to the home cell, when the second mobile station communicating via the second macro cell enters within the coverage area of the first macro cell and the second mobile station is outside the coverage area of the home cell, the second mobile station is caused to perform handover to the first macro cell, and when the first mobile station communicating via the second macro cell enters within the coverage area of the first macro cell, the first mobile station is not caused to perform handover to the home cell or the first macro cell.
