APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING HANDOVER BETWEEN HOME CELL AND MACRO CELL IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

An apparatus and a method for supporting handover between a home cell and a macro cell in a wireless communication system are provided to scan home cells by using the information of home cells previously registered at a wireless communication system at which the home cells and macro cells coexist. A home cell information storage unit(602) stores home cell information inputted from a user. Here, the home cell information includes a BSID(Base Station IDentifier), UCD(Uplink Channel Descriptor) information, DCD(Downlink Channel Descriptor) information, neighbor base station list information and CCC(Configuration Change Count) information, etc. A controller(600) manages the home cell information stored at the home cell information storage unit, and controls the scanning of home cells by using the home cell information.
