More Information
Summary:Methods and apparatuses are provided for avoiding membership verification for a non-closed subscriber group (CSG) user equipment (UE) communicating with a femto node advertising restricted access. A femto node or femto gateway can receive configuration information specifying to refrain from performing membership verification for UEs communicating with a femto node. Based on such information, the femto node or femto gateway can communicate registration information for a registration request received from a non-CSG UE without performing membership verification. Additionally or alternatively, femto nodes can register non-CSG UEs as CSG UEs to mitigate membership verification at femto gateways, request that femto gateways refrain from performing membership verification, and/or the like. In this regard, the femto node can use restricted access parameters for purposes other than restricting access.
