- steps S810 to S860 described in FIG. 8 may also be applied to an example in which the UE hands over from a serving cell to a target cell.
- the terminal reports the measurement result to the serving cell.
- the measurement result may be a measurement result measured periodically or an event-triggered measurement result measured when an event occurs.
- the serving cell requests the target cell to change the CRE bias based on the measurement result or the performance of the UE.
- the serving cell may change the CRE bias value based on the measurement result.
- the target cell informs the serving cell of the changed CRE bias in response to the request. If the target cell can instruct the change of the CRE bias value without the request of the serving cell, the serving cell can change the CRE bias value based on the CRE bias transmitted to the target cell. On the other hand, the serving cell can change the CRE bias based on the measurement result or the performance of the UE measured without the response of the target cell. Alternatively, the serving cell may determine the load balance by itself and change the CRE bias value.
- the serving cell determines whether the load needs to be balanced based on information on the neighbor cell (for example, whether over traffic or the like), and changes the CRE bias value. If you want to change the CRE bias value for reasons other than load balancing, or if you do not need to balance the load, do not change the CRE bias value.
- the serving cell transmits a CRE bias to the terminal. If the CRE bias is changed in the previous procedure, the changed CRE bias is transmitted. If the CRE bias is not changed, the CRE bias is transmitted without changing the CRE bias.
- the CRE bias may be transmitted through a cell specific message or a terminal specific message.
- the CRE bias may be transmitted over a broadcast channel or a shared channel, or may be transmitted over a dedicated channel.

- the CRE bias may be transmitted through a cell specific message or may be transmitted through a terminal specific message. That is, CRE bias can be applied cell-specifically, but UE-specific can also be applied. For example, cell selection or handover may be performed by applying a CRE bias based on a terminal category.

- it is more selective and effective to load balance while maintaining the gain (eg system gain) that can be gained by using CRE.
- FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a terminal in an RRC connected state in performing a handover according to the present invention.
- the terminal receives a CRE bias (S1110).

- Qoffset s, n is an offset between the serving cell and the neighbor cell.
- the Qoffset s, n value may have a value of ⁇ 24 dB to 24 dB and may be set in units of 2 dB.
- Q offsetfrequency can be used when inter-frequency cell reselection (because one base station operates differently for each frequency, there is a concept of handover and reselection).
- Offset which is a variable used to give priority to each frequency in the Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) of LTE. For example, this offset can be used to balance the load to prevent the user from being concentrated in the preferred frequency band. Therefore, the higher the R value including both the R value, that is, R s and R n values, the terminal preferentially selects the corresponding cell when the cell is reselected.
- RSRQ considered in the present invention is as follows.

- the RSSI is a linear average of signals received on all OFDM symbols with respect to OFDM symbols including RS among the signals transmitted through antenna port 0 at the RSSI measurement frequency. It means the value.
- the RSSI is a value that includes both interference and thermal noise of adjacent channels.

It is assumed that the subframe for the RSRQ measurement is received, and the idle mode UE starts measuring the RSSI in all OFDM symbols of the subframe in which the RSRQ measurement is indicated during the RSRQ measurement. If the UE does not have information for distinguishing between the RSRQ measurable subframe and the RSRQ non-measurable subframe from the eNB, the UE determines that RSRQ measurement has been indicated for all subframes.

- the threshold transmitted through the broadcasting channel may be transmitted through SIB4 and may be configured as shown in Table 2 below.
- a terminal configured to set a macro cell or a pico cell as a serving cell may operate as follows. First, the terminal checks the information of the broadcasting channel received from the serving cell. It is checked whether there is a Qoffset s, n value for a neighbor cell among the information transmitted through the broadcasting channel. If the value does not exist, the value of Qoffset s, n neighbor cells is set to zero. If at least one piece of information on a neighbor cell whose absolute value of Qoffset s, n for a particular neighbor cell is greater than or equal to a threshold value is identified, the UE regards the subframe for measuring the RSRQ from an upper layer and receives the RSRQ in the idle mode. In the measurement, an operation of measuring RSSI in all OFDM symbols of a subframe indicated by RSRQ measurement is started.
- the UE when the UE which sets the macro cell or the pico cell or the cell corresponding thereto as the serving cell confirms that the CSG cell such as the femto cell exists in the neighbor cell, the UE performs subframes for the RSRQ measurement from an upper layer. It is assumed that the indication is received, and when the RSRQ measurement is performed in the idle mode, the operation of measuring the RSSI in all OFDM symbols of the indicated subframe RSRQ measurement is started.

- PCI physical cell ID
- the csg-PhysCellIdRange field may not always be present when the cell transmitting the broadcasting channel is not a CSG cell. For example, if a CSG cell does not exist in a corresponding range within the cell and around the cell, the field may not exist. However, in the case of CSG, the csg-PhysCellIdRange field should always be included in the broadcasting channel.
- the PhysCellIdRange field defining the range value of PCI may be defined as follows.
- PhysCellIdRange SEQUENCE ⁇ start PhysCellId, range ENUMERATED ⁇ n4, n8, n12, n16, n24, n32, n48, n64, n84, n96, n128, n168, n252, n504, spare2, spare1 ⁇ OPTIONAL-Need OP ⁇

- the idle mode terminal measures RSRP of neighbor cells. At this time, in order to distinguish each adjacent cell, PCI information included in a synchronization channel is checked and RSRP is measured using the checked PCI information. At this time, it is checked whether the checked PCI information exists within a range of PCI values of CSG cells through the broadcasted information. If the PCI value is determined to be a PCI value that is determined to be a CSG cell, the idle mode UE considers that the subframe for the RSRQ measurement is received from a higher layer, and the RSRQ measurement is indicated when the RSRQ measurement is instructed in the idle mode.

In consideration of the load balance and / or the measurement result and / or the terminal performance of the terminal, the base station determines whether to modify the CRE bias value of the terminal (S1420).
- the CRE bias value is set to cell-specific or zero by default.

Or, if the channel state of the terminal worsens, the base station may determine to modify the CRE bias value. Alternatively, the correction of the CRE bias value may be determined according to the terminal performance.

- the serving cell transmits the CRE bias considering the CSG cell to the terminal (S1520).
- the serving cell transmits a CRE bias only to a terminal that is not allowed to access the CSG cell, thereby preventing the terminal receiving the CRE bias from receiving more interference from the CSG cell.

- the serving cell determines that the measurement value needs to be limited by determining the measurement value with the CRE bias reflected. Restrictions necessary for the measurement of the terminal can be added. For example, the serving cell may limit the measurement to the UE to perform measurement on a subframe in which interference is low among the downlink subframe patterns used by the CSG cell.
- the serving cell may misrecognize a channel state or a communication state. Therefore, when the UE enters the CSG cell and already receives a large amount of interference from the CSG cell, in case of limiting the measurement or taking necessary measures, the UE may be in a RLF (Radio Link Failure) state due to interference from the CSG cell. have. Therefore, the serving cell may allow the UE to set measurement limits in consideration of interference from neighboring CSG cells before the UE is affected by the interference.
- RLF Radio Link Failure

- the limitation of the measurement is that the measurement is performed on a subframe that can receive less interference from the CSG cell as described above, and thus, the measurement results on the subframe that is severely interfered with the CSG cell, thereby falling into an unnecessary RLF state. The phenomenon can be prevented. Therefore, the serving cell may perform appropriate inter-cell interference coordination so that the UE can avoid the interference of the CSG cell.
- the CRE bias is transmitted to the terminal and the measurement result reflecting the measurement result is confirmed, and then the measurement limit setting command is transmitted to the terminal.
- the CRE bias and the measurement limit setting command are transmitted together to the terminal. Can be. For example, if an Ocn variable value for an unacceptable cell is received above 0, the terminal may start measurement restriction.
- the UE may perform the measurement in which the measurement limit is reflected without performing an unnecessary operation (no longer) such as requesting a handover to the corresponding CSG cell.
- FIG. 16 is a diagram schematically illustrating an embodiment in which a CSG cell is present in a system to which the present invention is applied. 16, the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 15 may be specifically confirmed.

- the terminal 2 1650 is a terminal that is allowed to access. Accordingly, in case of entering the CSG cell, UE 2 1650 does not need to take additional action by handing over to the CSG cell, but UE 1 1640 cannot handover to the CSG cell and is affected by interference by the CSG cell.
- the macro cell base station 1610 confirms that the terminal 1 1640 is adjacent to the CSG cell, and transmits a CRE bias to the terminal 1 1640, before the terminal 1 1640 enters the CSG cell and the RLF is removed

Abstract
La présente invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé permettant de sélectionner une cellule dans un système de communication sans fil. L'invention permet à un terminal de recevoir une première polarisation d'expansion portée de cellule (CRE) par le biais d'un premier message et de recevoir une seconde polarisation CRE, dans lequel la première polarisation CRE est modifiée, par le biais d'un second message, de sorte qu'une cellule soit sélectionnée sur la base de ladite seconde polarisation CRE. Dans ce cas, lesdites première et seconde polarisations CRE sont des décalages qui sont ajoutés à l'intensité de signal d'une micro-cellule, et ainsi, ledit terminal sélectionne la macro-cellule si une somme de la seconde polarisation CRE et de l'intensité de signal de la macro-cellule est supérieure à l'intensité de signal d'une macro-cellule. Puisque la présente invention fournit différentes valeurs de polarisation CRE à un utilisateur non autorisé pour une cellule CSG et à un utilisateur autorisé associé, l'utilisateur non autorisé pour la cellule CSG peut confirmer la cellule CSG à l'avance, empêchant ainsi une défaillance de liaison radio (RLF).
