METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING AND MEASURING FOR HOME NODE-BS

摘要

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) to detect and perform measurements with respect to Home Node-Bs (HNB) and Home evolved Node-Bs (H(e)NB) (collectively “HNB”). The methods may include generating and transmitting a request for a measurement configuration that may include gap allocations to detect and measure a primary scrambling code or a physical cell identity of a target HNB for at least one frequency or radio access technology (RAT). The request may be in response to the WTRU entering a HNB cell for which the WTRU has stored fingerprint information and whose closed subscriber group ID is in the WTRU's whitelist. The network may configure the WTRU to measure the requested frequency or RAT in response to the proximity report/request. Methods are described for releasing the measurement configuration.

1. A method of detecting a home Node-B or home (evolved) Node-B (HNB) implemented in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), comprising:
the WTRU detecting, based on autonomous search functionality, that the WTRU has entered into a vicinity of a HNB cell whose closed subscriber group (CSG) ID is in a whitelist of the WTRU; the WTRU sending an indication to a network entity that the WTRU has entered into the vicinity of the HNB cell, wherein the indication includes a frequency of the HNB cell and a Radio Access Technology (RAT) of the HNB cell; the WTRU receiving a measurement configuration message; and the WTRU performing measurements responsive to the measurement configuration message.
