1. A method for performing cell selection to a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) cell by a User Equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system, comprising:
- determining, by the UE, a candidate cell by measuring neighbor cells;
receiving Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) information, an indicator indicating information related to the CSG cell, and a CSG IDentification (ID) from the candidate cell;
determining whether the candidate cell belongs to a registered or selected PLMN, based on the PLMN information;
determining whether the candidate cell is included in a CSG list in the UE, based on the CSG ID; and
selecting the candidate cell, if the candidate cell belongs to the registered or selected PLMN and is included in the CSG list.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for performing cell selection to a Home cell or a Private network in a mobile communication system are provided, in which a User Equipment (UE) determines a candidate cell by measuring a serving cell and neighbor cells, receives an indicator indicating a Home cell or a Private network in system information from the candidate cell, determines whether the candidate cell is included in a Home cell or Private network list set in the UE, and selects the candidate cell if the candidate cell is included in the Home cell or Private network list.
