Abstract:
Method and apparatus for providing inbound mobility to closed subscriber group (CSG) and hybrid cells are described. A wireless communication device includes a receiver configured to receive, from a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), information indicating that a physical cell identity (PCI) of a neighbor closed subscriber group (CSG) cell corresponds to a predefined CSG cell range, and a transmitter configured to transmit, to the WTRU in response to receiving the information indicating that the PCI of the neighbor CSG cell corresponds to the predefined CSG cell range, an indication to report system information of the neighbor CSG cell. In response to receiving the system information of the neighbor CSG cell, the wireless communication device may initiate a handover of the WTRU to the neighbor CSG cell.
