CELL SELECTION AND RESELECTION IN DEPLOYMENT WITH HOME NODE B

摘要

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