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. WTRU DETECTS THAT IT HAS ENTERED INTO THE VICINITY OF AN HNB CELL FOR WHICH IT HAS FINGERPRINT INFORMATION AND WHOSE 705 CSG ID IS IN THE WTRU'S WHITELIST WTRU INDICATES OR SENDS A REQUEST TO THE NETWORK, BASE STATION OR SIMILAR ENTITY THAT IT HAS ENTERED THE VICINITY OF 715 A HNB WHOSE CSG ID IS IN IT'S WHITELIST WTRU RECEIVES FROM THE NETWORK, BASE STATION OR SIMILAR ENTITY A MEASUREMENT -725 CONFIGURATION MESSAGE WTRU PERFORMS THE MEASUREMENTS TO DETECT THE PSC OR PCI 735 THE WTRU SENDS A MEASUREMENT REPORT TO THE NETWORK, BASE STATION OR SIMILAR -745
