Method, apparatus and computer program product for providing closed subscriber group access control

摘要

An apparatus for providing closed subscriber group access control may include a processor. The processor may be configured to maintain a non-access register including an identifier of a communication cell associated with a closed subscriber group to which a communication device associated with the non-access register does not have access rights, and enable subsequent communication with another communication cell based on the other communication cell not being identified in the non-access register. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided.

1. A method for operating a wireless communication device comprising:
storing to an access register a first closed subscriber group (CSG) identity of a first communication cell within a mobile network, the first communication cell being associated with a first closed subscriber group to which the wireless communication device has access rights; enabling subsequent communication with the first communication cell based on the first CSG identity of the first communication cell being stored in the access register; and deleting, from the access register, the first CSG identity of the first communication cell in the event access of the wireless communication device to the first closed subscriber group is denied, the deleting lasting a predetermined period of time.
