Publication number: 20110294496Abstract: A small-size base station is obtained that allows an authorized user to reliably perform communication via the small-size base station by avoiding a mobile communication terminal of a third person from being connected to the small-size base station. A femtocell base station 101F is the small-size base station that performs transmission and reception of radio waves with a mobile phone 110 located within a femtocell 103F, and includes a registering unit 132 registering an IMSI of a mobile phone 110X allowed to access the femtocell base station 101F; and a determining unit 131 determining whether an IMSI of a mobile phone 110 accessing the femtocell base station 101F is registered in the registering unit 132, and thereby determines whether the mobile phone 110 is a registered terminal or unregistered terminal. Access by an unregistered terminal to the femtocell base station 101F is limited based on a result of the determination made by the determining unit 131.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2009Publication date: December 1, 2011Inventors: Mitsuru Hirakawa, Kenichi Murakami
