Patent Images
1. A method for processing the handover to a close subscriber group cell, comprising:
- a target network element receiving a handover message; and
the target network element performing verification on a close subscriber group identity (CSG ID) carried in the handover message, and if the verification is not passed, then the target network element returning a response message carrying a CSG ID of the target network element to a superior network element of the target network element.
