WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING HOME NODE-B IDENTIFICATION AND ACCESS RESTRICTION

摘要

A method and a wireless transmit/receive unit, WTRU, (600), including a universal subscriber identity module, USIM, (625), for identifying a closed subscriber group, CSG, cell are disclosed. The WTRU (600) receives a broadcast from a cell including a cell identifier, ID. If the cell ID is associated with a CSG cell, the WTRU (600) determines whether the CSG ID is programmed in the USIM (625). The cell broadcast may include a single bit information element, IE, indicating that the cell is a CSG cell. If the cell ID is a CSG ID, the cell ID may further include a plurality of fields which indicate at least one of a country, a region, an operator, and a home evolved Node-B, HeNB, number.
