CSG(Closed Subscriber Group)/OAM(Open Access Mode)
CSG is a set of user (UEs, Subscribers) which allowed for a specific cell (usually femto cell). The cell with CSG Indication set to be 'TRUE' is called CSG cell is called 'CSG Cell'. Non CSG Cell (Ordinary Cell) allows any UE to camp on as long as the UE has proper PLMN info and the cell is not barred, but CSG Cell allows only UEs belonging to a specific CSG.
You may ask how a cell declare "I am CSG cell" or "I am a Normal Cell". You can do it by using two information elements in System Information BlockType 1 (SIB1) as shown below.
A Network can allocate a certain range of PCI (Physical Cell ID) to be reserved for CSG. This can be defined by SIB4. There are two information elements in SIB 4, csg-PhysCellIdRange.start and csg-PhysCellIdRange.range. If csg-PhysCellIdRange.start = n, csg-PhysCellIdRange.range = K. The PCI is distributed between Normal Cell and CSG cell as shown below.
If you go into details, this is also pretty complicated concept. I will leave it up to you to find details from other source as follows.
Followings are RRC messages and information elements which are related to CSG operation. For now, I would give you just list of RRC messages and format. I will describe later on how these messages interplay.
