Abstract
A service method of a femtocell for simultaneously providing a plurality of femto services to a plurality of mobile stations, and a transmitter and receiver for the same. When a femto advanced base station supports a plurality of femtocell subscription types, and it simultaneously provides data services with different qualities to mobile stations having subscribed to different femtocells. The femtocell subscription type supported by the femto advanced base station is advertised to the mobile station through an identifier at a PHY level or an identifier at a MAC level. A CSG-closed femtocell provides a high-quality data service to limited subscribers, a CSG-open femtocell provides a relatively low quality data service to limited subscribers, and an OSG femtocell provides the lowest quality data service to all mobile stations irrespectively of subscription states.
