METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING HOME NODE B SERVICES

摘要

A method and a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for receiving home Node B (HNB) services are disclosed. The WTRU receives HNB access restriction information from a HNB, the access restriction information comprising an indication that the cell is reserved for future extension. Furthermore, the WTRU receives a closed subscriber group (CSG) broadcast from the cell. WTRUs supporting HNB features may implicitly detect that the cell is a HNB cell by means of the CSG broadcast. Once the cell is determined to be a HNB cell, the WTRUs ignore the indication that the cell is reserved for future extension and try to connect or camp on it. However, legacy WTRUs not supporting HNB features are prevented from trying to access the HNB upon detecting the indication that the cell is reserved for future extension.
