Abstract
A method and apparatus of accessing to a network node in a wireless communication system is provided. A relay node (RN) determines whether an access to a network node is allowable. The RN attempts to access to the network node if it is determined that the access to the network node is allowable. Service delay due to access failure can be prevented.
Claims12
A method of accessing to a network node in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- receiving, by a relay node (RN), a network node list from a network, the network node list including information about at least one network node which is allowed to access;
- selecting, by the RN, a network node from the network node list;
- and
- connecting, by the RN, to the selected network node,
- wherein the network node list includes at least one relay node allow indicator (RNAI) and at least one network node indicator (NNI), each RNAI indicating whether each network node is allowed to access and each NNI indicating a type of the each network node, the type being a relay node or a base station;
- wherein the step of the selecting the network node includes:
- determining the each network node is allowed to access based on the at least one RNAI;
- and
- selecting the network node among the at least one allowed network node by comparing the type of each allowed network node based on the at least one NNI and a predetermined preference type.

A relay node in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit and receive radio signals;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled with the RF unit and configured for:
- receiving a network node list from a network, the network node list including information about at least one network node which is allowed to access, the network node list including at least one relay node allow indicator (RNAI) and at least one network node indicator (NNI), each RNAI indicating whether each network node is allowed to access and each NNI indicating a type of the each network node, the type being a relay node or a base station;
- determining the each network node is allowed to access based on the at least one RNAI;
- selecting a network node among the at least one allowed network node by comparing the type of each allowed network node based on the at least one NNI and a predetermined preference type;
- and
- connecting to the selected network node.
