A radio system has a number of fixed transceivers (12-18) serving a number of radio coverage sites (28-34). A multisite controller (10) has a memory (42) including mobile radio station identifications and site associations, associating mobile radio station identifications with sites. A processor (40) computes a site loading parameter for each site, dependent on the resources at the site and the number of mobile radio stations associated with the site. A request is received from a mobile radio station to form a new association between the given site and the identification of the mobile radio station sending the request and a response to the request is selected dependent on the site loading parameters in the different sites. For example in response to a first class of acknowledgment, the first site is treated as the registered site and, in response to a second class of acknowledgment, an attempt is made to register at a second site and if no acknowledgment is received from the second site, the first site is treated as the registered site.
