Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate cell search, selection, and reselection within a wireless communication network that includes a home node base station (home nodeB). A user equipment (UE) can detect a home nodeB and communicate such identification to a macro network that includes at least one node base station (nodeB). The detected home nodeB and nodeB can be hierarchically structured in order to prioritize connectivity with the home nodeB over the nodeB. Such prioritization can be implemented by broadcasting home nodeB parameters and macro nodeB parameters having identification information therewith.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate applying offsets and/or selectable hysteresis values to favor access points in cell reselection. In measuring and ranking surrounding access points in reselection, offsets can be applied to favorable access points to facilitate cell reselection thereto. The offset can positively affect measurements, and thus ranking as well, in some cases. Negative offsets can also be applied to lower measurements (and thus ranking) of some access points. Moreover, hysteresis values can be applied in measuring current cells to prevent frequent reselection. The hysteresis values can be selected based on a type of the current cell or related access point to expand the coverage area where desired. Thus, where the current access point is favorable, a larger hysteresis can be added to measurements related to the current access point.

Abstract: User Equipments (UEs) can be adapted to enter into a lower RRC state from a higher RRC state, and search for one or more layers of higher priority within a predetermined period of time upon entering into the lower RRC state. According to at least one aspect, this search for one or more layers of higher priority may be performed irrespective of RF quality of a current serving cell. According to at least another aspect, this search for one or more layers of higher priority may be conducted within the predetermined period of time if a wait period has elapsed since the UE camped on the current serving cell. If the wait period has not elapsed since camping on the current serving cell, the search for one or more layers of higher priority may be performed within the predetermined period of time following a duration of the wait period.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate communicating PSC split information regarding neighboring cells. The PSC split information can be transmitted in one or more overhead messages selected based on network deployment. Where macro cells and femto cells provide PSC split information, which can be a PSC range for related cells, PSC list, etc., the information can be transmitted in a low priority overhead message since it can be obtained at a source cell. Where only femto cells or closed subscriber group (CSG) cells provide PSC split information, the information can be transmitted in a higher priority more frequently transmitted message. In this regard, the information is available at target cells since not all devices can access CSG cells. Thus, by providing the PSC split information in a more frequently transmitted message, devices can retrieve the PSC split information early on in communications to lower power consumption.

Abstract translation: 描述了有助于传播关于相邻小区的PSC分割信息的系统和方法。 可以在基于网络部署选择的一个或多个开销消息中传送PSC分割信息。 在宏小区和毫微微小区提供PSC分裂信息的情况下，其可以是相关小区，PSC列表等的PSC范围，可以在低优先级的开销消息中发送信息，因为它可以在源小区获得。 在只有毫微微小区或封闭用户组（CSG）小区提供PSC分裂信息的情况下，可以以较高优先级的更频繁发送的消息来发送该信息。 在这方面，信息在目标小区可用，因为并非所有设备都可以访问CSG小区。 因此，通过在更频繁地发送的消息中提供PSC分割信息，设备可以在通信中提前检索PSC分割信息以降低功耗。
