CELL SELECTION AND RESELECTION IN DEPLOYMENT WITH HOME NODEBS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques that facilitate cell search, selection and reselection within a wireless communication network that includes a home node base station (home nodeB).SOLUTION: User equipment (UE) can detect a home nodeB and communicate such identification to a macro network that includes at least one node base station (nodeB). The detected home nodeB and nodeB can be hierarchically structured in order to prioritize connectivity with the home nodeB over the nodeB. Such prioritization can be implemented by broadcasting home nodeB parameters and macro nodeB parameters having identification information (using an SIB, system information block).
