1. A wireless communication method, comprising:
receiving, by a communication node from a network node, a plurality of black cell lists or a plurality of neighbor cell lists,
wherein each black cell list describes a range of physical cell identifiers (PCI) of one or more network nodes that are prevented from being used by the communication node,
wherein each black cell list is associated with one or more network identifiers (IDs) of the one or more network nodes,
wherein each black cell list is further associated with an indication of a type of network that indicates a type of service provided by one network node when the network node is configured to provide a type of service other than or in addition to a public network service,
wherein each neighbor cell list describes one or more physical cell identifiers (PCIs) of one or more network nodes that are allowed to be utilized by the communication node,
wherein each neighbor cell list is associated with one or more network identifiers (IDs) of the one or more network nodes, and
wherein each neighbor cell list is further associated with an indication of a type of network that indicates a type of service provided by one network node when the network node is configured to provide a type of service other than or in addition to a public network service; and
performing a cell reselection process by using a black cell list from the plurality of black cell lists or by using a neighbor cell list from the plurality of neighbor cell lists according to a rule in which an attribute of the black cell list or of the neighbor cell list matches an attribute of the network node to which the communication node is configured to communicate.
