MOBILITY PROCEDURES AND DIFFERENTIATED CHARGING IN HOME NODE-B

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide procedures of: mobility between an LTE macro-cell and an LTE HNB or between a legacy 3GPP macro-cell such as WCDMA(R) and a legacy 3GPP HNB when macro-cell coverage is available; mobility between HNBs; and mobility between LTE HNBs and legacy 3GPP RAT when the LTE macro-cell coverage is unavailable.SOLUTION: An embodiment indicates, to a WTRU, criteria for making a handoff decision and making a cell reselection decision when an HNB is detected in a mobile phone environment. The criteria include charging and other policies/settings and configurations. The WTRU confirms whether the detected HNB is a blacklisted HNB (390) or a preferred HNB (310), and then selects HNBs (340, 350, 360) according to priority based on the criteria if there is more than one HNB (330).
