Abstract: Methods and systems for using coverage or capacity classifications regarding a macro RF network to manage registration of femtocells with a service provider network (SPN) so as to avoid signaling overload are described herein. After a wide-scale power outage within an area where multiple femtocells are located, the femtocells can power on and attempt to register with the SPN at about the same time. The femtocells can scan RF signals received from the macro network and classify the received RF signals with respect to capacity or coverage of the macro network at the time of transmitting the RF signals. A device within the SPN can determine whether classification of the received RF signals is associated with dropping or accepting a registration request associated with the classified RF signals. The SPN device can accept the registration request or drop the registration request and request the femtocell to transmit another registration request.

Abstract translation: 这里描述了使用关于宏RF网络的覆盖或容量分类来管理毫微微小区与服务提供商网络（SPN）的注册以避免信令过载的方法和系统。 在多个毫微微小区所在的区域内的大规模断电之后，毫微微小区可以在大约相同的时间上电并尝试向SPN注册。 毫微微小区可以扫描从宏网络接收的RF信号，并且在发射RF信号时对接收的RF信号进行相对于宏网络的容量或覆盖范围的分类。 SPN内的设备可以确定接收的RF信号的分类是否与丢弃或接受与分类的RF信号相关联的注册请求相关联。 SPN设备可以接受注册请求或丢弃注册请求，并请求毫微微小区传送另一个注册请求。
