- operations 515 to 531 illustrate a handover procedure from the source base station 530 of the macro cell to the target base station 590 of the CSG cell, which may use a known procedure in the LTE network.
- the source base station 530 that has received the system information of step 513 transmits a message indicating that the terminal 530 requires handover to the CSG cell to the MME 550 in step 515.
- the message informing that the handover is required includes the CSG ID of the CSG cell.
- the MME 550 performs access control for handover to the CSG cell based on the reported CSG ID.
- the MME 550 informs the gateway 570 of the home network to which the CSG cell belongs. Send a handover request message including the CSG ID.
- the target base station 590 which has received the handover request message from the gateway 570 in step 521, compares the CSG ID received through the handover request message with its own CSG ID and then moves to the gateway 570 in step 525. Send a handover request confirmation message. Thereafter, the MME 550 that receives the handover request confirmation message from the gateway 570 in step 527 transmits a handover command message of the corresponding terminal 510 to the source base station 530 of the macro cell in step 529, and step 531. The source base station 530 transmits the handover command message to the terminal 510 to allow the terminal 510 to complete the handover procedure to the CSG cell.
- a transceiver for transmitting and receiving a radio signal and the overall of FIG. 2 to FIG. It may be implemented as a control unit that performs operation control.
