METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING CSG SERVICE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method and apparatus for supporting a closed subscriber group (CSG) service is provided. The apparatus includes a memory configured to store CSG subscription information, and a processor operatively coupled to the RF unit and the memory and to implement a radio interface protocol. The processor is configured to access to a base station (BS), transmit the CSG subscription information to the BS, receive an access mode from the BS, wherein the access mode is determined based on the CSG subscription information, and negotiate with the BS on a CSG service if the access mode supports a CSG to which the apparatus belongs.
