Handover method and apparatus in a wireless communication system including femto cells

A terminal performing a handover in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

• a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal;
• and
• a controller configured to send a first measurement report to a source base station, the first measurement report including a cell identifier (ID) of a target base station, to receive control information to perform system information acquisition, from the source base station, to receive system information including a tracking area identifier (TAI) and a closed subscriber group identifier (CSG ID), from the target base station, to send a second measurement report including the TAI and the CSG ID of the target base station, to the source base station, and to receive handover command information from the source base station,
• wherein the CSG ID included in the second measurement report is compared, by the target base station, with a CSG ID broadcast in the target base station to verify whether the CSG ID in the second measurement report matches a CSG ID broadcast in the target base station.

A source base station in a wireless communication system, the source base station comprising:

• a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal;
• and
• a controller configured to receive a first measurement report from a terminal, the first measurement report including a cell identifier (ID) of a target base station, to send control information to perform system information acquisition, to the terminal, to receive a second measurement report including a tracking area identifier (TAI) and a closed subscriber group identifier (CSG ID), of the target base station, from the terminal, and to send handover command information to the terminal,
• wherein the CSG ID included in the second measurement report is compared, by the target base station, with a CSG ID broadcast in the target base station to verify whether the CSG ID in the second measurement report matches a CSG ID broadcast in the target base station.

A handover method of a source base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

• receiving a first measurement report from a terminal, the first measurement report including a cell identifier (ID) of a target base station;
• sending control information to perform system information acquisition, to the terminal;
• receiving a second measurement report including a tracking area identifier (TAI) and a closed subscriber group identifier (CSG ID) of the target base station, from the terminal;
• and
• sending handover command information to the terminal,
• wherein the CSG ID included in the second measurement report is compared, by the target base station, with a CSG ID broadcast in the target base station to verify whether the CSG ID in the second measurement report matches a CSG ID broadcast in the target base station.
