Cell access control method and user equipment
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A cell access control method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a user equipment (UE), cell access information from a synchronization channel;
determining, by the UE, whether a cell is a home eNodeB (HNB) cell according to the cell access information obtained by the UE;
determining whether the UE is allowed to access the HNB cell by comparing, in instances where the cell is an HNB cell, the cell access information obtained from the synchronization channel with HNB information stored in UE memory; and
accessing the HNB cell if the UE determines that the HNB information stored in UE memory corresponds to the HNB cell.

Abstract
A cell access control method and a user terminal are provided, the method includes: obtaining, by a user equipment (UE), cell access information through a pilot channel and/or a synchronization channel; determining a current cell is a macro base station cell or an HNB cell according to the cell access information; determining, when the current cell is an HNB cell, whether the UE is allowed to access the HNB cell according to HNB information of the cell access information, if the UE is allowed to access the HNB cell, performing the access processing, if the UE is not allowed to access the HNB, abandoning the access. A UE is provided accordingly.

6. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
-
an obtaining unit configured to obtain cell access information from a synchronization channel; a cell attribute determining unit configured to determine whether a cell is a home eNodeB (HNB) cell according to the cell access information obtained by the obtaining unit; an access determining unit configured to determine whether the UE is allowed to access the HNB cell by comparing, in instances where the cell is an HNB cell, the cell access information obtained from the synchronization channel with HNB information stored in UE memory; and an access processing unit configured to access the HNB cell if the access determining unit determines that the HNB information stored in UE memory corresponds to the HNB cell. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 12, 13)
