Abstract
Apparatuses and methods are provided for performing cell reselection, the method includes detecting a signal of cell for cell reselection on a frequency, where the signal includes an intra-frequency reselection indicator, determining from the signal whether the cell is a barred cell, on a condition that the cell is a barred cell, determining that the barred cell is not a candidate for cell reselection, determining whether the barred cell is a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) cell, and allowing intra-frequency cell reselection to a different cell on the frequency regardless of the value of the intra-frequency reselection indicator on a condition that the barred cell is a CSG cell and that the different cell meets reselection criteria.
