Patent ID: 8670768

Claim:
A cell selection method in which a mobile station selects a camped cell among one or more CSG cell(s) selectable as a camped cell only by a specific mobile station and one or more non-CSG cell(s) selectable as a camped cell by any mobile station, wherein the non-CSG cells and CSG cells have a different priority level; the mobile station uses a first non-CSG cell as the camped cell; a first carrier frequency is used by a plurality of cells including a first CSG cell that regards the mobile station as the specific mobile station; the first carrier frequency is different from a second carrier frequency used in the first non-CSG cell; and the cell selection method comprising: changing, at the mobile station, the camped cell from the first non-CSG cell to a first CSG cell, when it is determined that the first CSG cell has best radio quality among cells using the first carrier frequency, when the radio quality of the first CSG cell is greater than a threshold, and changing, at the mobile station, from the camped cell to another cell having the same priority level, when a sum of radio quality in the first CSG cell and a predetermined offset is larger than a sum of radio quality in the first non-CSG and a predetermined parameter.
