1. A cell access control method, comprising:
- receiving, by a user equipment (UE), cell identifier information through a synchronization channel;
reading, by the UE, a broadcast message including home eNodeB (HNB) information when a cell is determined to be an HNB cell in accordance with the cell identifier information received through the synchronization channel; and
accessing, by the UE, the HNB cell when the UE is determined to be allowed to access the HNB cell in accordance with the HNB information included in the broadcast message.

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.

8. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to receive cell identifier information through a synchronization channel; wherein the transceiver is further configured to read a broadcast message including home eNodeB (HNB) information when a cell is determined to be an HNB cell in accordance with the cell identifier information received through the synchronization channel; and a processor configured to access the HNB cell when the UE is determined to be allowed to access the HNB cell in accordance with the HNB information included in the broadcast message. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. An access point, comprising:
-
a transmitter, configured to send cell identifier information to a user equipment (UE) through a synchronization channel, and to send a broadcast message including home eNodeB (HNB) information to the UE, the broadcast message being read by the UE when a cell controlled by the access point is determined to be an HNB cell in accordance with the cell identifier information sent by the transmitter through the synchronization channel; and a processor, configured to implement an access processing of the UE when the UE is determined to be allowed to access the HNB cell in accordance with the HNB information included in the broadcast message. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
