First Claim
Patent Images
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.

Abstract
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.

10. A wireless communication device comprising:
-
an access manager configured to store 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; and a processor operably coupled to the access manager configured to enable subsequent communication with the first communication cell based on the first CSG identity of the first communication cell being stored in the access register, the access manager being further configured to delete, 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. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An apparatus for wireless communication comprising:
-
means for storing 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 apparatus has access rights; means for enabling subsequent communication with the first communication cell based on the first CSG identity of the first communication cell being stored in the means for storing; and means for deleting, from the means for storing, the first CSG identity of the first communication cell in the event access of the apparatus to the first closed subscriber group is denied, the deleting lasting a predetermined period of time. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code that when executed by a processor cause a wireless communication device to:
-
store 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; enable 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 delete, 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. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
