BASE STATION, USER DEVICE, AND TRACKING AREA SETTING METHOD

摘要

A base station in a mobile communication system is disclosed. In the mobile communication system, user devices present in areas covered by existing base stations report tracking area identifiers of tracking areas to which the existing base stations belong. The base station includes a statistical processing unit configured to count the number of the tracking area identifiers reported by the user devices for each of the tracking areas; and a tracking area selecting unit configured to assign the base station one of the tracking areas corresponding to the largest number of the tracking area identifiers counted by the statistical processing unit.
