In a mobile-communication system including a base-transceiver station
(BTS), a visitor-location register (VLR), and controllers for controlling
a mobile station (MS), the controllers including at least one
mobile-switching center (MSC) each controlling at least one radio-network
controller (RNC), when a location-registration request is transmitted
from the MS, it is determined whether or not being located in a
controlled area of the controllers is allowed. If being located in a
controlled area of one of the controllers is not allowed, re-location
registration is performed for a cell placed under control of the other
controller. If it is difficult to perform the re-location registration,
forced-location registration is performed so that the location of a
different MS is registered with a different cell. Subsequently, it
becomes possible to decrease the state where originating calls are made
with difficulty when subscribers are concentrated in a predetermined
area.
