Abstract
According to certain aspects, a first base station (BS) of a first power class type (e.g., a femtocell BS) that provides access service to devices capable of performing media independent handover (MIH) may perform a scan to detect available networks and send results of the scan to a second BS of a second power class type for updating information in a MIH information services database. The BS of the second power class type may receive the results of the scan and update an MIH information services database based on the received results.
