METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASUREMENT REPORT IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK HAVING MACRO CELLS AND FEMTO CELLS
First Claim
1. A measurement report method of user equipment in a wireless communication network including macro cells, each macro cell having a plurality of femto cells, the method comprising:
- when a trigger event occurs, creating a measurement report message, the measurement report message including a cell identifier of a target femto cell for a measurement report in response to the trigger event, measuring results for the target femto cell, and a neighbor cell identifier having a cell identifier of at least one neighbor femto cell around the target femto cell; and
transmitting the measurement report message to a base station in the wireless communication network.

Abstract
In a wireless communication network including several macro cells each having several femto cells, when a trigger event occurs for a measurement report, user equipment creates a measurement report message which includes a cell identifier of a target femto cell for the measurement report in response to the trigger event, measuring results for the target femto cell, and a neighbor cell identifier having a cell identifier of at least one neighbor femto cell around the target femto cell. Then the user equipment transmits the measurement report message to an evolved node B (eNB). When receiving the measurement report message, the eNB distinguishes the target femto cell from others in the femto cells based on the neighbor cell identifier in the received measurement report message.
