A method for managing an attempted connection between a home base station (HBS) and a device not registered with the HBS is provided. The method includes transferring the connection when the attempted connection can be transferred to a traditional base station. When the attempted connection cannot be transferred to a traditional base station, it is determined whether a portion of the resources of the HBS can be used by the device not registered with the HBS. When a portion of the resources can be used, the portion is used. When a portion of the resources cannot be used, the attempted connection is not completed.

Method to filter unauthorized mobile devices in code division multiple access networks

A method and apparatus use existing datafill information from macrocells to turn-up the cell site. A cell site includes a global position positioning system (GPS) receiver configured to determine a current location of the cell site. A transceiver subsystem in the cell site manages a wireless communication interface, and a controller, coupled to the GPS receiver and the transceiver subsystem. The controller is configured to send the current location of the cell site to a cell site manager, receive cell site identification data for existing macrocells and virtual macrocells from the cell site manager, and selects candidate macrocells based on a selection algorithm until one is validated by the switching center. Datafill information associated with the validated macrocell to create datafill entries for the cell site.

A code division multiple access telecommunications network including an underlay base station in a private premises and a plurality of overlay macro base stations. The underlay base station includes a GPS receiver and a mobile unit receiver. The underlay base station uses its geographic location to obtain information identifying macro base stations within a preselected distance of the underlay base station. It uses the mobile receiver to measure pilot signal strength of the macro base stations. It generates a neighbor list of the identified macro base stations ranked according to pilot signal strength.

A Wireless Soft Switch (WSS) and method for handing off a Mobile Station (MS) from a Macrocell Base Station (MBS) to Femtocell Base Station (FBS), and a FBS and method for handing off from the FBS to another FBS, are provided. A method for handing off an MS from an MBS to a target FBS in a wireless network receiving, by a Wireless Soft Switch (WSS), a message indicating that handoff of an MS to an FBS should be performed, determining, by the WSS, one or more candidate FBSs for the handoff, determining, by the WSS, the target FBS, from the one or more candidate FBSs, to which the MS is to handoff, and exchanging messages with the MS, MBS, and the target FBS for the handoff of the MS from the MBS to the target FBS.

Macrocell to Femtocell and Femtocell to Femtocell handoff

A method of synchronizing a clock for an adjacent network (AN) to a clock for an overlay network (ON) is provided. The method includes extracting an ON clock signal from an outgoing signal transmitted from the overlay network. The AN clock is synchronized to the ON clock based on the extracted ON clock signal.

An apparatus and method for efficient determination of mobile station location in a wireless network. A location register database is used by base station controllers to track the locations of mobile stations.

Apparatus and method for efficient determination of mobile station location in a wireless network

A method for allocating a pseudorandom noise identifier (PN) to a home base station (HBS) is provided. The method includes determining the location of the HBS, determining the PNs in use adjacent to the HBS, and using the location of the HBS and the PNs in use to select a PN for the HBS.

Pseudorandom noise selection method for mobile communication sites

A method for prioritizing IP traffic in a wireless network based on a type-of-service (TOS) identifier is provided. The method includes receiving an IP datagram. The IP datagram comprises an original TOS identifier. An IP message is formed by adding an IP header to the IP datagram. The original TOS identifier is copied from the IP datagram into a duplicate TOS identifier in the IP header.

A base station for use within a structure is provided. The base station includes an apparatus to automatically set an operating carrier power level to be effective within the structure and in a limited area surrounding the structure to promote reducing interference with mobile units outside the limited area. The base station also includes an apparatus to automatically set beacon channel power to provide service substantially within the structure.

Cell base station virtual RF cage

A method for sending IP packets from a base station to a mobile station during transition of the mobile station from a dormant state to an active state is provided. The method includes receiving a lagging feature request from the mobile station. A physical layer of a traffic channel is established between the base station and the mobile station. A network layer of the traffic channel is established between the base station and the mobile station. After the physical layer of the traffic channel is established and while the network layer of the traffic channel is being established, the IP packets are packaged and sent to the mobile station in a particular format.
