Abstract

Disclosed is the radio (wireless) communication system providing a radio communication service and the terminal, and more particularly, to a method of managing radio resource(s) using a group selection indicator so as to effectively utilize the radio resource(s) in an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (E-UMTS) evolved from the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) or a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system.

Claims

1. A method of managing a radio resource in wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a grouping parameter and a group selection indicator from a network, wherein the grouping parameter is used to form at least a first radio resource group and a second radio resource group;

selecting at least one radio resource group among the at least first and second radio resource groups based on the group selection indicator,

wherein each of at least one radio resource from the at least first and second radio resource groups has a different intended use;

selecting at least one radio resource from the at least one selected radio resource group; and

accessing the network using the at least one selected radio resource or performing a measurement for a cell having the at least one selected radio resource.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the grouping parameter and the group selection indicator are included in a system information block (SIB) transmitted from the network.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one radio resource is related to a physical cell identity (PCI) or a physical scrambling code (PSC).

4. A method of managing a radio resource in wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a grouping parameter and a group selection indicator from a network, wherein the grouping parameter is used for grouping radio resources; and

grouping radio resources into at least a first radio resource group and a second radio resource group based on the grouping parameter,

wherein the first radio resource group is used to allocate radio resources for at least a first purpose and the second radio resource group is used to allocate radio resources for at least a second purpose that is different from the first purpose, and

wherein the group selection indicator allows the first radio resource group to be used to allocate the radio resources for the second purpose and allows the second radio resource group to be used to allocate the radio resources for the first purpose.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the first purpose is for a closed subscriber group (CSG) cell and the second purpose is for a non-closed subscriber group (non-CSG) cell.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the radio resources are further grouped into a third radio resource group.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the third radio resource group is used to allocate radio resources for at least a third purpose that is different from the first and second purpose.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the third purpose is for a hybrid cell.

9. A method of managing a radio resource in wireless communication system, the method comprising:

generating a grouping parameter and a group selection indicator, wherein the grouping parameter is used to form at least a first radio resource group and a second radio resource group; and

transmitting the grouping parameter and group selection indicator to a terminal,

wherein the group selection indicator is used to select a radio resource group among the at least first and second radio resource groups,

wherein each of at least one radio resource from the at least first and second radio resource groups has a different intended use,

wherein at least one radio resource is selected from the selected radio resource group, and

wherein the selected at least one radio resource is used for communicating with the terminal.
