Abstract
A system described herein may receive a request for a User Equipment ('UE') to access a radio access network (“RAN”), which may implement a Closed Subscriber Group (“CSG”) technique. The request may be a handover request from a different RAN, which may implement a different radio access technology (“RAT”). The system may determine that an access policy for the particular RAN does not indicate that the UE is authorized to access the RAN. The system may output a request to the RAN, including an indication that the access policy for the RAN does not indicate that the UE is authorized to access the RAN. The system may receive a response to the second request. The response may include an indication of whether the UE is allowed to access the RAN, as determined by the RAN based on one or more conditions in addition to an identifier of the UE.
