METHOD AND APPARATUS TO CONTROL VISITED NETWORK ACCESS FOR DEVICES

摘要

Methods and apparatuses are provided that facilitate controlling device access to one or more restricted groups of access points in a visited network. An indicator can be provided by a home network that specifies whether a device registering with a visited network is allowed to access restricted groups in the visited networks. If so, the visited network can request restricted group subscription information for the device. Additionally or alternatively, the device can control whether restricted groups are displayed for selecting access points based on one or more indicators regarding whether the device is allowed to access restricted groups in visited networks.
