Abstract

In a method for controlling access to a local network via a small wireless cell in a wireless network, local network access control information is received at the small wireless cell, and the small wireless cell controls access to the local network by the user based on the local network access control information. The access control information is indicative of whether a user is permitted to access the local network through the small wireless cell, and is independent of wireless network access control information indicative of whether the user is permitted to access the wireless network.
