A radio network controller that serves to reduce the amount of processes
for searching for a common ID in a paging procedure when performing a
paging processing for simultaneously calling a mobile station. A
search-not-required flag indicating whether or not a search for the
common ID is required is added to a message from a core network. The
radio network controller determines whether or not a search for the
common ID is required based on the status of the flag and the type of the
message from the core network. A search for the common ID is required if
the flag is "OFF," whereas if the flag is "ON" and if the message is
paging 1, it is determined that an RRC connection has not been
established for the mobile station and thus a search for the common ID is
not required in the radio network controller.
