Abstract
A method of controlling CSG, known as closed subscriber group, cell selection for a wireless communication system is provided. The wireless communication system includes a network and a user equipment including a whitelist capable of providing a list of accessible CSG cells. The method includes updating the whitelist when the user equipment subscribes to a CSG cell that is not included in the whitelist or does not subscribe to a CSG cell in the whitelist.
Claims31
A method of controlling closed subscriber group, hereinafter called CSG, cell selection for a user equipment, hereinafter called UE, used in a wireless communication system comprising a network, the UE comprising a whitelist capable of providing a list of accessible CSG cells, the method comprising:
- updating the whitelist when the UE subscribes to a CSG cell that is not included in the whitelist or does not subscribe to a CSG cell in the whitelist.
A method of controlling closed subscriber group, hereinafter called CSG, cell selection for a user equipment of a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising a whitelist providing a list of accessible CSG cells, the method comprising:
- periodically searching the CSG cells in the whitelist according to a searching period when the user equipment camps on a macro cell and does not meet any of measurement criteria for CSG cell measurement.
A method of controlling CSG cell selection for a user equipment of a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising a whitelist capable of providing a list of accessible CSG cells, the method comprising:
- performing CSG cell searching when a new CSG cell is added to the whitelist.
A method of controlling CSG cell selection for a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system, the UE comprising a whitelist capable of providing a list of accessible CSG cells, the method comprising:
- performing cell selection to select a cell to camp on when a CSG cell that the UE currently camps on is removed from the whitelist.
A method of controlling CSG cell selection for a user equipment, hereinafter called UE, used in a wireless communication system with a network, the UE comprising a whitelist capable of providing a list of accessible CSG cells, the method comprising:
- receiving a paging message from the network when the UE camps on a CSG cell in the whitelist and does not subscribe to the CSG cell;
- initiating a service request procedure when the paging message is received;
- through the service request procedure, receiving a SERVICE REJECT message comprising a reject cause value from the network;
- and
- searching a cell other than the CSG cell when the reject cause value of the SERVICE REJECT message is received.
