If it is determined that the second base station device is a If it is determined that the device is busy (step S110; Yes), the process proceeds to step S126. move on.

[0064] If the determination in step S110 is No, the location registration change request unit 36 ​​is in a busy state. Regarding an instruction indicating a change in location registration to the terminal device 14 registered with the first base station device The location registration change request unit 36 ​​transmits the information to the first base station (step S112). The location registration of the terminal device 14 that has registered its location with the first base station device is changed from the device The information regarding the instruction is transmitted, and the process then proceeds to step S114.

[0065] The location registration detection unit 38 determines whether or not a location registration request from the terminal device 14 has been detected. Specifically, the location registration detection unit 38 receives the second base station information from the terminal device 14 (step S114). It is determined whether a location registration request to the base station device has been detected. If it is determined that the application has been detected (step S114; Yes), the process proceeds to step S116. If it is determined that a location registration request from the terminal device 14 has not been detected (step S114; No), proceed to step S130.

[0066] If the determination in step S114 is Yes, the terminal device 14 is located in the second base station device. As a result, the call control unit 40 calls the terminal device 14 from the second base station device. Then, the process proceeds to step S118.

[0067] The call detection unit 42 detects the start of a call between the terminal devices 14 (step S118).

Processing of 9 ends.

[0071] If the determination in step S110 is Yes, the location registration change request unit 36 ​​sends a notification to wait. The information is transmitted to the terminal device 14 (step S126). The unit 36 ​​allows the terminal device 14 to continue location registration with the first base station device, which is in a busy state. Then, the process proceeds to step S128.

[0072] The control unit 28 determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed (step S128). The control unit 28 determines the time from when the terminal device 14 is in standby until a predetermined timeout occurs. If it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed (step S12), 8; Yes), the process of FIG. 9 is terminated. Step S128: No), proceed to step S110.

[0073] If the determination in step S114 is No, the control unit 28 determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed. Specifically, the control unit 28 instructs the terminal device 14 to change the location registration. It is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the instruction to change the setting was issued. If it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed (step S130; Yes), the process of FIG. If it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed (step S130; No), the process ends. Proceed to step S114.
