Patent ID: 8565189

Claim:
A mobile communication method comprising the steps of: transmitting a service request signal in a specified area by a mobile station in operation with an established bearer in a core network of a mobile communication system of LTE scheme which does not provide circuit switched communication; performing first processing to enable the mobile station to start circuit switched communications in a mobile communication system of WCDMA scheme, when a mobile switching center in the mobile communication system of LTE scheme detects that the service request signal contains first identification information; and performing second processing to establish a bearer of the mobile station in a radio access network of the mobile communication system of LTE scheme, when the mobile switching center of the mobile communication system of LTE scheme detects that the service request signal contains second identification information, wherein even when detecting that the service request signal contains the first identification information, the mobile switching center of the mobile communication system of LTE scheme does not perform the first processing if circuit switched communication of the mobile station in the mobile communication system of WCDMA scheme is restricted in the specified area, the service request signal containing the first identification information is “Service Request” for CSFB (Circuit Switched Fallback) processing; the service request signal containing the second identification information is “Service Request” for Preservation recovery processing; the first processing is the CSFB processing; and the second processing is the Preservation recovery processing.
