Abstract
A method and apparatus for supporting a closed subscriber group (CSG) service is provided. A user equipment determines whether a neighbor cell is a CSG member cell for which a CSG whitelist includes a CSG identity of the neighbor cell and PLMN identities of the neighbor cell. The user equipment sends a CSG membership indicator indicating whether the neighbor cell is the CSG member cell.
Claims24
A method for supporting a closed subscriber group (CSG) service in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) and comprising:
- acquiring a CSG identity broadcasted from a neighbor cell;
- acquiring a first Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) identity of a neighbor cell and at least one second PLMN identity of the neighbor cell which are broadcasted from the neighbor cell;
- and
- if the neighbor cell s a CSG member cell, and if one of the first PLMN identity of the neighbor cell and the at east one second PLMN identity of the neighbor cell is included in a list within the UE, reporting a measurement report including the CSG identity of the neighbor cell and a CSG membership indicator which indicates that the neighbor cell is the CSG member cell.
A user equipment (UE) configured for supporting a closed subscriber group (CSG) service in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
- a memory configured to store a CSG whitelist of the UE;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the memory and configured to:
- acquire a CSG identity broadcasted from a neighbor cell;
- acquire a first Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) identity of a neighbor cell and at least one second PLMN identity of the neighbor cell which are broadcasted from the neighbor cell;
- and
- if the neighbor cell is a CSG member cell, and if one of the first PLMN identity of the neighbor cell and the at least one second PLMN identity of the neighbor cell is included in a list within the UE, report a measurement report including the CSG identity of the neighbor cell and a CSG membership indicator which indicates that the neighbor cell is the CSG member cell.
A method of communicating in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) and comprising:
- receiving broadcasts from a neighbor cell;
- and
- upon determining that the broadcasts include:
- a closed subscriber group (CSG) identity,
- a first Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) identity of the neighbor cell, and
- a second PLMN identity of the neighbor cell,
- reporting, to a serving cell, a measurement report including:
- the CSG identity of the neighbor cell, and
- a CSG membership indicator which indicates that the neighbor cell is a CSG cell.
