When a new or visiting wireless communication unit requests authorisation to access a small cell, such as a Femto cell, then an authorised wireless communication unit (for example a master unit) receives and accepts the visiting wireless communication unit's request. It then performs a physical contact-enabled or contactless vicinity-based data transfer (this may include bumping the units together, near field communication (NFC), Bluetooth(RTM), Infra-Red (IRDA) or other short range wireless technology) of subscriber data from the visiting wireless communication unit. The master wireless device may then authorise the visiting wireless communication unit at the wireless communication unit to access the network. This removes the need for an owner of the Femto cell to manually update the whitelist or the closed subscriber group (CSG) access list to add the visiting wireless device. |
