    摘要: An access controller is coupled to an access point and receives data packets from connected user equipment. The access controller is configured to perform packet inspection techniques on the received packets to determine if they should be locally switched. In some embodiments, packets destined for a local intranet services may be locally switched to avoid congesting a core network link. In further embodiments, a local connection to the Internet may be used so that locally switched packets can also be directed to the Internet without the use of a core network link. In still further embodiment, in addition to packet inspection techniques, the access controller maintains a state table for the states of connected user equipment. The access controller may use the information in this table to further decide whether to perform local switching techniques.

    摘要: The present application describes methods for performing proxy communications between mobile stations connected to a femtocell network and a central telephone network controlled by a network operator. In some embodiments, a private branch exchange is configured to temporarily assign identification numbers to the mobile stations connected to the femtocell network. Incoming calls are directed to the private branch exchange rather than the connected mobile stations. After receiving the incoming call, the private branch exchange routes the incoming call to the correct mobile station. In some embodiments, these methods also enable mobile stations to cross between femtocell coverage areas within the same femtocell network without constantly updating the central network operator.

    摘要: A method comprises multicasting an uplink configuration of a user equipment to multiple target local Radio Access Networks (RANs); receiving notification of detection of the presence of the user equipment from at least one of the multiple target local RANs; and sending a relocation request to the at least one of the multiple target local RANs based on the notifications of the detection of the presence of the user equipment.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are described that enable a deployment of a system of wireless nodes, e.g., femtocells, which can self-configure themselves into a balanced and optimized wireless network. In various embodiments, access points switch between a network monitoring mode in which network monitoring is performed and a communications mode in which the access point serves one or more wireless terminals and communicates traffic data to/from the wireless terminals. Traffic data transmission to wireless terminals are not supported in network monitoring mode. Based on information gathered from one or more access nodes while they operating in network monitoring mode of operation, access point configuration information is generated and one or more access points are automatically configured.
