SELECTIVELY INCLUDING ALLOWED CSG LIST IN PAGE MESSAGE
First Claim
1. A method of communication, comprising:
- receiving a message at a first node to setup communication between the first node and a second node, wherein the message indicates a type of the second node, and the type comprises an eNodeB, a home eNodeB, or a home eNodeB gateway; and
determining, based on the indicated type, whether to include an allowed closed subscriber group list in a page message destined for the second node.

Abstract
Problems caused by interaction between paging optimization and synchronizing CSG information are mitigated by setting a network indication indicating, for example, that a subscriber is no longer a member of a CSG, but the network has not yet received confirmation that an access terminal associated with the subscriber has been informed of this. A timer-based scheme may be employed for removing a CSG ID from the subscriber information for a subscriber once it is determined that the subscriber is no longer a member of the CSG. In addition, a temporary member of a CSG may determine whether it is still a member of a CSG upon expiration of a CSG timer. Also, the frequency with which an access terminal registers may be changed based on various criteria. Furthermore, an allowed CSG list may be selectively included in a page message depending on the destination of the page message.
