Abstract
Devices and methods are provided for handing off an access terminal from a macro base station to a femto access point (AP). In one embodiment, the method involves receiving a facilities directive or the like from a communication network entity, such as, for example, a serving mobile switching center (MSC). The method may involve selecting the femto AP based at least in part on femto configuration information, which may include at least one global identifier of the femto AP. The method may involve determining a uniform resource identifier of the femto AP based at least in part on at least one global identifier (e.g., MSC identifier and/or cell identifier).
