FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to mobile communication. A terminal apparatus receives, from a femto cell base station, a pilot channel signal for reception quality measurement and a synchronisation channel signal for synchronisation. The terminal apparatus has a whitelist stored therein indicative of an accessible femto cell, and determines whether or not a closed subscriber group (CSG) cell of handover destination is accessible based on a physical cell identifier (PCI) of the CSG cell acquired from the synchronisation channel and the whitelist. The terminal apparatus then adds the PCI and a CGI to a measurement report for reception quality, and transmits the measurement report to a macro base station.
EFFECT: preventing wasteful signalling and preventing unnecessary resources from being reserved even when two or more CSG cells that use the same PCI are present in a macro cell.
