That is, the HeNB gateway 50 repeatedly determines whether an updated white list or update failure has been received until the timer times out.
- the HeNB gateway 50 when receiving the HO preparation (S72), the HeNB gateway 50 waits without performing an admission control process until an updated white list or an update failure message is transmitted from the MME 70. However, if the updated white list or the update failure message is not received even after a predetermined time has elapsed after receiving the HO preparation, an admission control process is performed (S100). Therefore, when the notification from the MME 70 cannot be received for some reason, an appropriate handover process can be performed without waiting for the notification from the MME 70.
- the cell with the highest reception quality is selected from the cells included in the measurement report message received from the UE 10 received by the source HeNB 30 as a target cell candidate to be a handover destination to be included in the HO preparation.

Abstract
Description
3GPPでは、屋内用のホーム基地局(Home eNB:以下、「HeNB」という)を設置してCSGセルを構築することが検討されている(3GPP TS36.300 Ver.8.7.0)。図24に示すように通常の基地局(eNB)が構築するセル(マクロセル)の中にCSGセルが構築される。HeNBはeNBと異なり、アクセスできる端末(User Equipment:以下、「UE」という)を制限することができる機能が設けられており、UEはアクセス許可のあるHeNBにしか接続できない。UEは、緊急時を除き、どんなに受信品質のよいHeNBを検出してもアクセス許可がなければ接続できない。
図25は、ハンドオーバ処理を示す図である。UEは、CSGセル間でハンドオーバをするために、まず周辺の基地局からの信号の受信品質を測定する(Measurement)。次に、UEは、受信品質の良い基地局を検出して、検出結果を測定報告メッセージ(Measurement report message)を使って現在接続中の基地局(ソースHeNB)に通知する。測定報告メッセージを受信したソースHeNBは、ハンドオーバをするために必要な情報やハンドオーバ先のセル(ターゲットセル)の情報をHeNBゲートウェイに通知する。ここでの通知には、ハンドオーバプレパレーションメッセージ(Handover preparation message:以下、「HOプレパレーション」という)を用いる。
(第1の実施の形態)
図1は、第1の実施の形態のハンドオーバ方法の概要を示すフローチャートである。最初に、図1を参照して概要を説明する。本実施の形態では、マニュアルセレクションによりホワイトリストの更新中であるという情報を、UE10からネットワーク側の各エンティティ(Entity)に通知することで、各エンティティが協調してハンドオーバ処理を実行する。
図2は、UE10の構成を示す図である。UE10は、基地局との通信を行う基地局通信インターフェース(図では「基地局通信IF」と記載)11と、アクセス許可されたCSGセルの情報(すなわち、ホワイトリスト)を記憶したホワイトリスト記憶部12と、UE10の各種の制御を行う制御部13とを有している。
次に、第2の実施の形態の無線通信システムについて説明する。第1の実施の形態は、MME70によるホワイトリストの更新が成功した場合、つまりホワイトリストにユーザ所望のCSGセルのセルIDを追加できた場合の処理手順について説明した。第2の実施の形態では、MME70によりホワイトリストの更新が許可されなかったにも適切に動作する無線通信システムについて説明する。第2の実施の形態においてUE、ソースHeNBの構成は、第1の実施の形態と同じである。
次に、第3の実施の形態の無線通信システムについて説明する。第2の実施の形態は、MME70から更新されたホワイトリストまたは更新失敗メッセージを受信した場合に、アドミッションコントロール処理を実行する処理手順について説明した。第3の実施の形態では、MME70からHeNBゲートウェイ50aへホワイトリスト更新の結果が通知されない場合にも適切に動作する無線通信システムについて説明する。第3の実施の形態においてUE、MME、ソースHeNBの構成は、第2の実施の形態と同じである。
次に、第4の実施の形態の無線通信システムについて説明する。通常、HOプレパレーションに入れるハンドオーバ先となるターゲットセル候補として、ソースHeNB30で受信したUE10からの測定報告メッセージに含まれるセルの中でもっとも受信品質の良いセルが選択される。マニュアルセレクションにより選択されたCSGセルの受信品質が最良でない場合、選択されたセルは、HOプレパレーションのターゲットセル候補にならないため、マニュアル更新を実行したとしてもユーザ所望のセルにハンドオーバできない。本実施の形態では、マニュアルセレクションにより選択されたCSGセルにハンドオーバする方法を示す。
次に、第5の実施の形態の無線通信システムについて説明する。上記した実施の形態では、HeNBゲートウェイ50がアドミッションコントロール処理を行うタイミングを制御していたが、本実施の形態では、ソースHeNB30aがHOプレパレーションを送信するタイミングを制御することにより、ホワイトリストへの追加が完了する前にアドミッションコントロール処理を行って、選択されたCSGセルへのハンドオーバが不可と判断される不都合を防止する。
