Mobile communication method and radio base station

A mobile communication method involving performing, at a mobile station UE which establishes a first connection in a first cell, a cell selection process at the time of detecting a failure in the first connection, transmitting, from the mobile station UE to a second cell selected in the cell selection process, a connection re-establishment request signal, determining, at a radio base station that manages the second cell, whether or not to store context information of the mobile station UE in response to the connection re-establishment request signal, acquiring, at the radio base station, the context information of the mobile station UE from a radio base station that manages the first cell, when determining that the context information of the mobile station UE is not stored, and establishing a second connection in the second cell for the mobile station UE, based on the context information of the mobile station UE.

When a network is requiring access barring, a mobile device determines whether a reference value broadcasted to the mobile device indicates a value determining that an access is denied regardless of a numerical value generated by the mobile device, or indicates a value having a possibility that an access of a certain mobile device is denied while an access of another mobile device is allowed. In the latter case, the mobile device determines appropriateness of an access by performing predetermined processing using the reference value as a value to be checked for a relationship with a numerical value generated by the mobile device when the mobile device does not have a special type access class, and uses a value enabling allowance of an access without performing the predetermined processing as a value for determining appropriateness of an access when the mobile device has the special type access class.
