Abstract

Method and arrangement for increasing the capacity in a mobile telephone system having mobile telephone exchanges (MTX), base stations (BS) and mobile stations (MS). The MTX:s handle the traffic within their traffic area via the base stations. MS:s mobile stations being at home are registered in a home location register and MS.S visiting the area are registered in a visitor location register. When the home location register is filled up, the system capacity is increased by selective MTX as home exchange, so that the MS is registered as visiting the visitor location register. MTX A, MTX B is preferably used as home exchange which only handles its home location register and associated functions, the radio traffic being handled via another MTX C which only handles its visitor location register and associated functions.
