1. A method for a user terminal to determine a region in a mobile communicationsystem which comprises a home cell and a public cell, the method comprising:

  • measuring, by the user terminal, a home cell signal and public cell signals during a measurement period;

    setting a public cell having the greatest signal among signals measured in the public cells, as a max cell at the user terminal;

    determining, by the user terminal, that the user terminal is located in a first region when the measured home cell signal is greater than a first threshold and greater than the max cell signal by more than a second threshold; and

    determining, by the user terminal, that the user terminal is located in a second region when the measured home cell signal is less than the first threshold and the max cell signal is greater than a third threshold.
