Patent ID: 8909228

Claim:
A method of reporting a measurement result of a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving a measurement parameter for measuring at least one cell from a serving cell; receiving system information from at least one neighbor cell, each of the system information of the at least one neighbor cell comprising a closed subscriber group (CSG) indicator indicating a type of a corresponding neighbor cell, each of the system information of the at least one CSG cell further comprising a CSG identity of a corresponding CSG cell; determining whether at least one Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) cell is present among the at least one neighbor cell based on the system information of the at least one neighbor cell, wherein, when at least one CSG indicator, indicating that the type is a CSG cell, is included in at least one piece of the system information of the at least one neighbor cell, it is determined that the at least one CSG cell is present, wherein, when the at least one CSG indicator is not included in the at least one piece of the system information, the presence of the CSG cell is determined by comparing the at least one CSG ID with a white list, and wherein the white list indicates an accessible CSG cell list, the accessible CSG cell list including at least one CSG identity (ID) for at least one accessible CSG cell to which the user equipment is permitted to access; transmitting a proximity indication on the at least one CSG cell to the serving cell, when it is determined that the at least one CSG cell is present; measuring the at least one CSG cell based on the measurement parameter; receiving a preliminary access check indicator from the serving cell, the preliminary access check indicator indicating whether a preliminary access check is requested, wherein the preliminary access check indicator has a length of 1 bit, wherein, when the preliminary access check is requested, determining at least one member CSG cell comprising the user equipment as a member thereof from at least one CSG cell based on system information of the at least one CSG cell, selecting a target member CSG cell among the at least one member CSG cell for transmitting a measurement report for the target member CSG cell, transmitting the measurement report to the serving cell, the measurement report comprising signal quality for the target member CSG cell, receiving a handover command from the serving cell, the handover command being used to instruct the user equipment for performing the handover from the serving cell to the target member CSG cell, and accessing to the target member CSG cell after receiving the handover command, wherein the each of the system information of the at least one CSG cell is stored for a specific period of time, such that the stored system information is re-used when the user equipment re-enters the at least one CSG cell within the specific period of time.
