RADIO COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM, MOBILE STATION, BASE STATION, AND RADIO COMMUNICATIONS METHOD

摘要

A radio communications system includes a mobile station, a third generation base station that communicates with the mobile station using a 3G system, and a long time evolution (LTE) base station that communicates with the mobile station using an LTE system. The mobile station includes a communication controller and a 3G communication module. The communication controller determines feasibility of communication with the LTE base station using the LTE system. The 3G communication module notifies the 3G base station that the communication with the LTE base station is not feasible at the time of transmitting a communication request to the 3G base station when the communication controller determines that the communication is not feasible. The 3G base station communicates with the mobile station using the 3G system in response to the communication request without requesting the mobile station to communicate with the LTE base station.
