Abstract
An apparatus and method for performing cell selection to a Home cell or a Private network in a mobile communication system are provided, in which a User Equipment (UE) determines a candidate cell by measuring a serving cell and neighbor cells, receives an indicator indicating a Home cell or a Private network in system information from the candidate cell, determines whether the candidate cell is included in a Home cell or Private network list set in the UE, and selects the candidate cell if the candidate cell is included in the Home cell or Private network list.
Claims32
A method for performing cell selection to a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) cell by a User Equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system, comprising:
- receiving, by the UE, information about a neighbor cell list and information about the CSG cell, from a serving cell;
- performing, by the UE, measurement for at least one neighbor cell based on the information about the neighbor cell list;
- determining, by the UE, a candidate cell based on the measurement;
- receiving an indicator indicating information related to the CSG cell, and a CSG IDentification (ID), from the candidate cell;
- and
- selecting, by the UE, the candidate cell if the indicator indicates that the UE is accessible to the CSG cell, and the CSG ID is included in a CSG list.
An apparatus for performing cell selection to a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) cell by a User Equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system, comprising:
- a receiver which receives information about a neighbor cell list and information about the CSG cell, from a serving cell, and receives an indicator indicating information related to the CSG cell, and a CSG IDentification (ID), from a candidate cell;
- and
- a controller which performs measurement for at least one neighbor cell based on the information about the neighbor cell list, determines the candidate cell based on the measurement, and selects the candidate cell if the indicator indicates that the UE is accessible to the CSG cell, and the CSG ID is included in a CSG list.
A method for servicing a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) cell in a Node B in a mobile communication system, comprising:
- setting, by the Node B, information about a neighbor cell list and information about the CSG cell, an indicator indicating information related to the CSG cell, and a CSG IDentification (ID) in system information;
- and
- broadcasting, by the Node B, the information about the neighbor cell list and information about the CSG cell, the indicator indicating information related to the CSG cell, and the CSG ID in the system information, to a User Equipment (UE).
An apparatus of a Node B for servicing a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) cell in a mobile communication system, comprising:
- a setter which sets information about a neighbor cell list and information about the CSG cell, an indicator indicating information related to the CSG cell, and a CSG IDentification (ID) in system information;
- and
- a transceiver which broadcasts the information about the neighbor cell list and information about the CSG cell, the indicator indicating information related to the CSG cell, and the CSG ID in the system information, to a User Equipment (UE).
