Abstract

A signaling controlling method that is performed by user equipment in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes: receiving an operation control message from a serving cell, wherein the operation control message includes control information for controlling a user equipment-originated indication; determining based on the control information whether to report the user equipment-originated indication; and generating and transmitting the user equipment-originated indication to the serving cell if it is determined that the user equipment-originated indication is to be reported.

Claims (37)

1. A method for controlling a signal performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a serving cell, control information including a frequency list;

sensing a closed subscriber group (CSG) cell using a frequency within the frequency list, wherein the CSG cell is a cell which the UE is permitted to access; and

reporting, to the serving cell, a cell sensing indication including a proximity indication when the CSG cell is sensed, wherein the proximity indication indicates that the UE enters an area of the CSG cell,

wherein the frequency list includes a plurality of frequencies in which reporting the cell sensing indication is permitted.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control information includes cell list, and the cell list includes a plurality of cells in which reporting the cell sensing indication is permitted.

3. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the sensing the CSG cell using the frequency within the frequency list further includes sensing the CSG cell using a cell within the cell list.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the proximity indication includes information indicating a radio access technology (RAT) of the CSG cell and information indicating the frequency of the CSG cell.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing a handover to the CSG cell.

6. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the CSG cell is a small cell installed for offloading, and

wherein the cell sensing indication includes a measurement report message which is triggered when the small cell is sensed.

7. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the control information includes a cell list, and

wherein the sensing the CSG cell using the frequency within the frequency list includes sensing the small cell using a cell within the cell list.

8. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein reporting the cell sensing indication including the proximity indication includes reporting the cell sensing indication including the proximity indication when the small cell is sensed.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the serving cell, system information,

wherein the system information includes system information block type 15 (SIB 15 ) including information on at least one multimedia broadcast and multicast service (MBMS) frequency, and

wherein the cell sensing indication includes an MBMS interest indication indicating that the UE is interested in an MBMS.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

reporting the MBMS interest indication when at least one MBMS frequency of the SIB 15 includes the frequency included in the frequency list.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the MBMS interest indication includes information indicating the frequency.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

moving to a neighbor cell which is operated in the frequency.

13. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit which is configured to transmit or receive a radio signal; and

a processor which is configured to operate in functional association with the RF unit,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive, from a serving cell via the RF unit, control information including a frequency list,

sense a closed subscriber group (CSG) cell using a frequency within the frequency list, wherein the CSG cell is a cell which the UE is permitted to access, and

report, to the serving cell via the RF unit, a cell sensing indication including a proximity indication when the CSG cell is sensed, wherein the proximity indication indicates that the UE enters an area of the CSG cell, and

wherein the frequency list includes a plurality of frequencies in which reporting the cell sensing indication is permitted.
