METHOD AND APPARATUS OF LIST MANAGEMENT

1 . A method of list management in user equipment of a wireless communication system, comprising:

storing, in the user equipment, a Closed/Prioritized Subscriber Group, CSG/PSG, list; and

revising, in said user equipment, data entries in said CSG/PSG list according to network/cell related information input manually by a user of the equipment.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, in said user equipment, network/cell related information sent by a network side;

revising said CSG/PSG list according to said information input manually and said information sent by said network side.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said managing said CSG/PSG list comprises:

when said information sent by said network side indicates said user equipment is allowed to access a CSG network/cell which is not stored in the CSG list, adding, by said user equipment, said CSG network/cell to the CSG list.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said revising data entries of said CSG/PSG list comprises:

when said information sent by said network side indicates said user equipment is forbidden to access a CSG network/cell stored in said CSG list, deleting, by said user equipment, said CSG network/cell from the CSG list.

5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said revising data entries of said CSG/PSG list comprises:

when said information sent by said network side indicates information of a CSG network/cell received by said user equipment is inconsistent with information of said CSG network/cell stored in the CSG list, updating, in said user equipment, the CSG list.

6 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said managing said CSG/PSG list comprises:

revising, in said user equipment, data entries of said CSG/PSG list corresponding to search according to a manual search.

7 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said managing said CSG/PSG list comprises:

revising, in said user equipment, data entries of said CSG/PSG list corresponding to search according to a neighbor cell list/stored frequency information.

8 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said managing said CSG/PSG list comprises:

when availability of autonomous search is indicated by said information sent by said network side, revising by said user equipment said CSG/PSG list as indicated corresponding to network/cell search.

9 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said revising said CSG/PSG list comprises at least one of:

when said information sent by said network side indicates said user equipment is allowed to access a PSG network/cell, which is not stored in said PSG list, as a preferential user, adding, in said user equipment, said PSG network/cell to the PSG list;

when said information sent by said network side indicates said user equipment is forbidden to access a PSG network/cell stored in the PSG list, as a preferential user, deleting, in said user equipment, said PSG network/cell from the PSG list;

when said information sent by said network side indicates information of a PSG network/cell received by said user equipment is inconsistent with information of said PSG network/cell stored in said PSG list, updating, in said user equipment, the PSG list.

10 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said information input manually comprises at least one of:

a command input manually to trigger a process of Location Area Update;

a command input manually to trigger a process of Tracking Area Update;

a command input manually to trigger a process of Radio Resource Control connection reestablish;

a command input manually to trigger a process of RRC connection release;

a command input manually to select whether to store information in said CSG/PSG list;

a command input manually to select whether to delete information from said CSG/PSG list; and

a command input manually to select whether to set automatic search available for said CSG/PSG list.

11 . The method of claim 2 , wherein said information sent by said network side comprises at least one of:

broadcast information;

Non-Access Stratum, NAS, message; and

RRC dedicated signaling.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein said NAS message comprises at least one of:

a response message sent by said network side in response to a process of LAU trigged by said user equipment; and

a response message sent by said network side in response to a process of TAU trigged by said user equipment.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said information input manually comprises manual setting of a duration of a timer; and wherein the method further comprises:

(re-)starting said timer when said user equipment accesses a CSG/PSG network/cell, and deleting said CSG/PSG network/cell from said CSG/PSG list when said timer expires.

14 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein information stored in said CSG/PSG list comprises at least one of:

CSG/PSG network identifier;

CSG/PSG cell identifier;

Location Area identifier;

Tracking Area identifier;

location information of CSG/PSG network/cell;

frequency information of CSG/PSG network/cell; and

information of neighbor macro cell.

15 . A device, comprising:

a receiving unit, configured to receive information input by a user manually;

a list storing unit, configured to store a Closed/Prioritized Subscriber Group, CSG/PSG, list; and

a list managing unit, configured to revise content of said list storing unit according to said information received by said receiving unit.

16 . The device of claim 15 , wherein said list managing unit comprises:

a basic management subunit, configured to add, delete or update information of said lists stored in said list storing unit; and/or

an indicating subunit, configured to indicate whether to perform automatic search for a network or cell in said CSG/PSG list.

17 . The device of claim 16 , wherein said list managing unit comprises:

a timer, configured to trigger said basic management subunit to delete a network/cell.
