Techniques for supporting utilization of femtocell service capabilities for services are disclosed. A network device may be configured to implement a femto services gateway. The femto services gateway may reside in a femtocell and provide application programming interfaces (APIs) to services to enable applications implementing the services to make use of functionalities of femtocell service capabilities. The APIs may be a subset of or an extended set of Open Service Access Parlay or Parlay-X APIs. The services may be either femtocell-hosted, mobile network operator core network-hosted, or Internet-hosted. The femtocell service capabilities may include a framework service capability feature (SCF), a call control SCF, a user interaction SCF, a mobility SCF, a terminal capability SCF, a data session control SCF, a connectivity manager SCF, an account management SCF, a charging management SCF, a policy management SCF, a presence and availability management SCF, or a multimedia messaging SCF.

Systems, apparatuses and methods for bandwidth management, aggregation and internet protocol ('IP') flow mobility ('IFOM') across multiple-access technologies are provided. Included is a method that includes selecting, from a packet data network (&#x201c;PDN&#x201d;) connection formed through a plurality of access systems communicatively coupled with a wireless transmit and/or receive unit (&#x201c;WTRU&#x201d;), an access system over which to transport a flow of internet protocol (&#x201c;IP&#x201d;) traffic to and/or from the WTRU. The method may also include sending, to the WTRU, a request to associate the flow of IP traffic with the selected access system.

Bandwidth management, aggregation and internet protocol flow mobility across multiple-access technologies

The implementation of Local IP Access (LIPA), 'Extended' LIPA (ELIPA), and Selected IP Traffic Offload (SIPTO) for the design of a 'Converged Gateway' (CGW) are disclosed. The gateway system may provide various features such as femtocell access to local networks, public Internet, and private service provider networks.

Extended local IP access for a converged gateway in a hybrid network

Systems and methods for integrating bandwidth management (BWM) equipment into a network in order to manage the use of bandwidth over multiple radio access technologies (RATs) relating to communications between a wireless transmit receive unit and a mobile core network (MCN). When integrating itself into the network, a BWM server may be placed between a MCN and an femto access point. In order for WTRUs to communicate with the MCN through the femto access point and a BWM server, a BWM server may need deep packet inspection capabilities.
