Selection of wireless network in conjunction with selection of a wireless cell set

An apparatus for communication, comprising:

• a cell selector configured to select a cell of a closed subscriber group for camping by an access terminal;
• and
• a communication controller, comprising hardware, configured to determine that the access terminal is no longer camped on any cell of the closed subscriber group, and further configured to determine that the access terminal returned to wireless coverage of the cell or the another cell within a defined period of time after the determination that the access terminal is no longer camped on any cell of the closed subscriber group,
• wherein the cell selector is further configured to select the cell or another cell of the closed subscriber group for camping by the access terminal based on the determination that the access terminal returned to the wireless coverage.

An apparatus for communication, comprising:

• means for selecting a cell of a closed subscriber group for camping by an access terminal;
• means for determining, by a processor, that the access terminal is no longer camped on any cell of the closed subscriber group;
• means for determining that the access terminal returned to wireless coverage of the cell or the another cell within a defined period of time after the determination that the access terminal is no longer camped on any cell of the closed subscriber group;
• and
• means for selecting the cell or another cell of the closed subscriber group for camping by the access terminal based on the determination that the access terminal returned to the wireless coverage.

A computer-program product, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code for causing a computer to:
• select a cell of a closed subscriber group for camping by an access terminal;
• determine that the access terminal is no longer camped on any cell of the closed subscriber group;
• determine that the access terminal returned to wireless coverage of the cell or the another cell within a defined period of time after the determination that the access terminal is no longer camped on any cell of the closed subscriber group;
• and
• select the cell or another cell of the closed subscriber group for camping by the access terminal based on the determination that the access terminal returned to the wireless coverage.

A method of communication, comprising:

• maintaining a record of a current wireless network;
• selecting a cell advertising a closed subscriber group;
• identifying, by a processor, a wireless network associated with the selected cell;
• registering at the identified wireless network;
• and
• returning to the wireless network identified by the record upon leaving wireless coverage of the cell or another cell of the selected closed subscriber group.

An apparatus for communication, comprising:

• a network selector configured to maintain a record of a current wireless network;
• a cell selector configured to select a cell advertising a closed subscriber group;
• and
• a communication controller, comprising hardware, configured to identify a wireless network associated with the selected cell, and further configured to register at the identified wireless network,
• wherein the network selector is further configured to return to the wireless network identified by the record upon leaving wireless coverage of the cell or another cell of the selected closed subscriber group.
