Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for searching for closed subscriber group (CSG) cells are described. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) transmits, to a network of CSG cells, a measurement/cell-search gap request message including a cause value having at least one bit that indicates whether the request message was transmitted due to a manual cell search command or a WTRU autonomous determination. The WTRU receives a measurement/cell-search gap allocation message from the network in response to the measurement/cell-search request message. The WTRU also may determine whether it has a discontinuous reception (DRX) gap that is long enough to read a master information block (MIB) and a system information block (SIB) of a neighboring CSG cell. If the DRX gap is not long enough, the WTRU may transmit a measurement/cell-search gap request message to the network, or autonomously tune away from a cell currently serving the WTRU to read the MIB and SIB.
