Claim:
A mobile communication system comprising: a base station connected to a core network; at least one mobile station connected to said core network through a communication line via said base station; and a radio control station for controlling the setting of a radio link in said base station for said mobile station; said base station monitoring whether or not said communication line is congested, and formulating, based on the results of monitoring, a state indicator indicating which of the congested state and the non-congested state is the current state of said communication line, said base station sending said state indicator to said radio control station each time state transition occurs between said congested state and the non-congested state; said radio control station recognizing the current state of said communication line based on said state indicator received from said base station; said radio control station transmitting, when said communication line is recognized to be congested, and a request for line connection is received from said mobile station, a control signal to the effect that the request for line connection received shall be refused, to said mobile station, without performing control for setting said radio link, wherein said communication line includes a wireless section associated with a radio jurisdiction supervised by said base station; said base station transmitting, as said state indicator, a first state indicator, indicating which of the congested state and the non-congested state is the current state of said wireless section, to said radio control station, wherein said base station finds the load for each of the uplink and the downlink of said wireless section, each time said radio link is added or deleted and generates a third state indicator indicating which of three states comprising a request accepting state, a handover accepting state, and a block state, is the current state of said wireless section, with the state of the load on the uplink as found and the state of the load on the downlink as found both being equal to or lesser than a first threshold value, being the request accepting state, with the state of one of the load on the uplink as found and the load on the downlink as found equal to or lesser than the first threshold value, with the other load being larger than said first threshold value and equal to or lesser than a second threshold value larger than said first threshold value, being the handover accepting state, and with the state of at least one of the load of the uplink and the load of the downlink thus found being larger than said second threshold value, being the block state; said base station sending the so generated third state indicator to said radio control station; and wherein said radio control station recognizes the current state of said wireless section based on said third state indicator received from said base station to determine whether or not the line connection request from said mobile station is allowable.
