Abstract

A communication system is described in which a mobile device is able to transfer from a home base station operating in a hybrid or closed, CSG, access modes to a target home base station operating in a hybrid or CSG access mode. A novel handover procedure is described in which the core network is informed of the access mode of the target home base station using a path switch request in the handover procedure.
