To reduce a time required for an attach process or a location registration process
and to alleviate traffic congestion in a W-CDMA mobile communications system. When
an attach process or location registration process takes place on a UE with respect
to both a circuit switched domain and a packet switched domain, messages about
the attach process or the location registration process are transmitted from the
UE to the circuit switched domain and the packet switched domain through an RRC
(Radio Resource Control) connection established between the UE and a radio access
network device (i.e., a RAN). This makes it possible to update location information
for mobility management in both circuit switched domain and packet switched domain
through the RRC connection.
