Inhibition of allowed closed subscriber group list
Disclosed herein are techniques for inhibition of allowed closed subscriber group list. According to an aspect, a method may be implemented at a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The method may include identifying a public land mobile network (PLMN) in which the WTRU is operating. Further, the method may include controlling closed group subscriber (CSG) selection based on the identified PLMN. For example, on a per PLMN basis, the WTRU may display to the user all CSGs or only CSGs in an operator CSG list.
1. A method comprising:
at a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the WTRU having a manual mode:
receiving, from at least one of an Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA DM) or a subscriber identity module over-the-air (SIM OTA) communications connection, a configuration corresponding to a public land mobile network (PLMN), the configuration causing the WTRU in the manual mode to display a closed subscriber group (CSG) identification (ID) not included in an allowed CSG list (ACL) for the PLMN and an operator CSG list (OCL) for the PLMN;
receiving, from the at least one of an Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA DM) or a subscriber identity module over-the-air (SIM OTA) communications connection, a message that enables the WTRU to control inhibition of an allowed closed subscriber group list (ACL), wherein the message indicates a time duration for the inhibition of the ACL and the message enables the WTRU to prevent user selection of a closed subscriber group (CSG) cell in the ACL, the controlling inhibition comprising preventing, in response to receiving the message, selection of the CSG cell in the ACL; and
controlling inhibition of the ACL based on the time duration.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein controlling inhibition comprises inhibiting selection of a closed subscriber group (CSG) cell in the ACL.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein controlling inhibition comprises terminating inhibition of the ACL.
