A method of controlling access to a multi-mode base station 4 (such as a dual mode femto cell), the base station 4 being arranged to serve a zone, said zone comprising a first cell, 4a, 4b, implementing an access mode as one of: (i) an open access mode, (ii) a hybrid access mode, and (iii) a closed access mode (access only to closed subscriber group (CSG) members). Operating conditions of the zone served by the base station are determined; and the access mode of the first cell is controlled based on the determined operating conditions of the zone served by the base station. A joint Radio Resource Management (RRM) entity takes account of the operating conditions of all of the cells of the multi-mode base station when controlling the access mode of one of the cells, which may improve the Quality of Service (QoS) for communications between User Equipments (UE) 2A, 2B, and the multi-mode base station. The interference and loading levels of neighbouring cells, 6a, may also be used to adjust ...
