A mobile communication terminal, base station and registration control
method are capable of preemptively preventing congestion between a mobile
communication terminal and a wireless base station distributing multicast
content. The mobile communication terminal judges whether or not a
restriction is applied (Step S12) or a partial restriction (partially
restricted) is applied (Step S14) in a currently assigned frequency
channel. When a restriction or partial restriction is applied,
registration is not carried out. Meanwhile, when only a partial
restriction is applied or when neither a restriction nor partial
restriction is applied, a judgment is made as to whether or not the
registration is authorized (Step S16). If authorization is given,
registration is executed (Step S20) after a predetermined standby time
(Step S18).
