Systems and methods for performing a handoff of an access terminal from a macro node to a femto node are disclosed. In one embodiment, the femto node is configured to transmit a predetermined signal for determining signal quality and an identifier that uniquely identifies the femto node to the access terminal. The access terminal is configured to transmit the identifier to the macro node. The femto node is identified as a hand in target based on the transmitted identifier and the macro node is configured to hand in the access terminal to the femto node.

Systems and methods of uniquely identifying communication nodes in a wireless communication system are described herein. One embodiment of the disclosure provides a wireless apparatus comprising a transceiver configured to receive a first identifier during at least one time slot. The first identifier identifies a first communication node. The apparatus further comprises a processing circuit configured to determine if the first identifier is received during a first time slot that is different from at least one pre-assigned time slot.

Methods and apparatuses are provided that facilitate providing access point measurements to restricted access points. Restricted access points can lessen restrictions to allow devices to register with the restricted access point for providing measurements thereto. Additionally or alternatively, access point measurements can be provided to a minimization of drive tests (MDT) server for providing to the restricted access points. Thus, restricted access points can obtain the access point measurements for performing enhanced interference management or other functionality based at least in part on the measurements.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate provisioning cell information to mobile devices via provisioning mechanisms. The cell information relates to cell characteristics within a wireless communication network. The cell information can be stored on the mobile devices and employed to detect the cell characteristics and adjust the handoff behavior based at least in part on characteristics of signals received from one or more base stations.

An access point is identified based on a plurality of pilot signatures. Here, in addition to transmitting a pilot signal that is encoded (e.g., spread/scrambled) using a particular pilot signature, an access point transmits a message that includes at least one indication of at least one other pilot signature. For example, an access point may use one PN offset to generate a pilot signal and transmit a message that identifies at least one other PN offset. An access terminal that receives the pilot signal and the message may then generate a pilot report that identifies all of these pilot signatures. Upon receiving a handover message including this pilot-related information, a target network entity with knowledge of the pilot signatures assigned to that access point may then accurately identify the access point as a target for handover of the access terminal.
摘要:
Transmissions of beacons by a set of access points (e.g., femtocells) are synchronized to facilitate discovery of the access points by an access terminal moving through the coverage areas of the access points. In some embodiments, periodic beacon transmissions are synchronized across all of the femtocells of a set of femtocells such that each femtocell transmits a beacon signal according to a similar pattern and at the same time. In some embodiments, an opportunistic beacon control scheme involves commencing beacon transmissions by at least one femtocell of a set of femtocells upon determining that an access terminal has communicated with one or more of the femtocells.
