First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for providing closed subscriber group (CSG) access, comprising:
- providing wireless network access to one or more devices where the one or more devices are members of a CSG;
determining a period of time during which to allow registration from one or more other devices that are not members of the CSG; and
receiving access point measurement information from the one or more other devices during the period of time.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided that facilitate providing access point measurements to restricted access points. Restricted access points can lessen restrictions to allow devices to register with the restricted access point for providing measurements thereto. Additionally or alternatively, access point measurements can be provided to a minimization of drive tests (MDT) server for providing to the restricted access points. Thus, restricted access points can obtain the access point measurements for performing enhanced interference management or other functionality based at least in part on the measurements.
