Abstract
A method and apparatus for transmitting a local home network identity (LHN ID) in a wireless communication system is provided. A first evolved NodeB (eNB) transmits an X2 Setup Request message including a LHN ID of the first eNB to a second eNB, and receives an X2 Setup Response message including a LHN ID of the second eNB from the second eNB. The first eNB may determine whether or not to trigger a secondary eNB (SeNB) addition procedure according to the LHN ID of the second eNB. When it is determined that the LHN ID of the second eNB is the same as the LHN ID of the first eNB, the first eNB may trigger the SeNB addition procedure.
Claims15
A method for transmitting, by a first evolved NodeB (eNB), a local home network identity (LHN ID) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- transmitting an X2 Setup Request message including a LHN ID of the first eNB to a second eNB;
- and
- receiving an X2 Setup Response message including a LHN ID of the second eNB from the second eNB.
A method for receiving, by a first evolved NodeB (MeNB), a local home network identity (LHN ID) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving an LHN ID of a second eNB from the second eNB;
- and
- determining whether or not to trigger a secondary eNB (SeNB) addition procedure according to the LHN ID of the second eNB.
