Radio base station device, handover control system, and handover control method

Abstract

A radio cell station includes a call connection control section that controls a call connection of a radio personal station PS; and a position registration request section that requests, of a management device ME, a position registration. When a request for handover from a radio cell station CS 3 to a radio cell station CS 4 is received from the radio personal station PS, the call connection of the radio personal station PS goes through the radio cell station CS 4 and the radio cell station CS 2 . While the call connection going through the radio cell station CS 2 is being conducted, the position registration is not requested of the management device ME. When the call connection going through the radio cell station CS 4 and the radio cell station CS 2 is ended, the position registration is requested of the management device ME.
