Communication Method, Mobile Communication System, User Equipments And Radio Network Controller

Abstract: A closed subscriber group (CSG) cell is a cell that allows use of subscribers. In order to receive the service by the CSG cell, a CSG-ID is required to be notified to a user equipment (101), which cannot be obtained in a situation outside the reach of radio waves from a non-CSG cell. In a mobile communication system including base stations (102) respectively provided to a CSG cell and a non-CSG cell in which access is made to the CSG cell with the use of a CSG-ID issued in a case where use of the CSG cell is allowed, the base station (102) provided in the CSG cell refers to the notified identification information of a user equipment and then transmits a tracking area update request from the user equipment (101) to a core network, and the core network determines whether the user equipment is allowed to use the CSG cell and, in the case where the use is allowed, transmits a signal for allowing assignment of radio resources to the user equipment and the CSG-ID. The user equipment (101) accesses the CSG cell with the use of the CSG-ED. Selected Figure FIG. 13

Specification

WE CLAIM: 1. A communication method performed in a mobile communication system which comprises specific user equipments, base stations provided to cells for specific subscribers that are accessible by said user equipments and a radio network controller managing an access made by said user equipments to said cells for specific subscribers and a tracking area for tracking location of said user equipments, comprising the steps of:
requesting an update of a tracking area from said user equipments to said radio network controller through said base stations manually selected by said user equipments;
checking in said radio network controller whether access made by said user equipments to said cells for specific subscribers is allowed;
accepting an update of a tracking area from said radio network controller to said user equipments through said base stations in a case where access made by said user equipments to said cells for specific subscribers is allowed; and
adding said cells for specific subscribers by said user equipments to a list of cells
for specific subscribers authorized to access in a case where said user equipments are
accepted to update a tracking area.
2. A mobile communication system comprising specific user equipments, base stations
provided to cells for specific subscribers that are accessible by said user equipments
and a radio network controller managing an access made by said user equipments to
said cells for specific subscribers and a tracking area for tracking location of said user
equipments, wherein:
said user equipments comprises the means of:
requesting an update of a tracking area to said radio network controller through

said base stations manually selected by said user equipments; and
adding said cells for specific subscribers to which said base stations manually selected by said user equipments are provided, to a list of cells for specific subscribers authorized to access in a case where an update of a tracking area is accepted by said radio network controller;
said radio network controller comprises the means of:
checking whether access made by said user equipments to said cells for specific subscribers is allowed; and
accepting an update of a tracking area to said user equipments through said base stations in a case where access made by said user equipments to said cells for specific subscribers is allowed.
3. User equipments in a mobile communication system comprising specific user
equipments, base stations provided to cells for specific subscribers that are accessible
by said user equipments and a radio network controller managing an access made by
said user equipments to said cells for specific subscribers and a tracking area for
tracking location of said user equipments, comprising the means of:
requesting an update of a tracking area to said radio network controller through said base stations manually selected by said user equipments; and
adding said cells for specific subscribers to which said base stations manually selected by said user equipments are provided, to a list of cells for specific subscribers authorized to access in a case where an update of a tracking area is accepted by said radio network controller.
4. A radio network controller in a mobile communication system comprising specific

user equipments, base stations provided to cells for specific subscribers that are accessible by said user equipments and a radio network controller managing an access made by said user equipments to said cells for specific subscribers and a tracking area for tracking location of said user equipments, comprising the means of:
checking whether access made by said user equipments to said cells for specific
subscribers is allowed; and
accepting an update of a tracking area to said user equipments through said base
stations in a case where access made by said user equipments to said cells for specific
subscribers is allowed.
