Cross-reference of related applications This application is filed on May 13, 2008 and also claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 052,813 entitled "MANAGEMENT OF ACCESS TO FEMTO CELL COVERAGE". This application was filed in, and was filed in a co-pending U.S. Patent Application No., entitled "LOCATION-BASED SERVICES IN A FEMTOCELL NETWORK," with "FEMTO CELL ARCHITECTURE FOR INFORMATION MANAGEMENT." It relates to the US Patent Application No. and the co-pending US Patent Application No. entitled "COMMERCE AND SERVICES IN A FEMTOCELL NETWORK". The entire of these applications are incorporated herein by reference.
The innovations relate to wireless communications, and more specifically to the management of content and the operation of equipment enabled by femtocell networks that serve a limited area.
Femtocell, a building-based wireless access point that interfaces with wired broadband networks, improves indoor wireless coverage and is a Mobility Wireless Access Network (RAN) operated by wireless network providers and wireless service providers. It is often deployed to reduce the burden on the. Typically, femtocells function within the licensed portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and often provide a plug-and-play introduction. Improved indoor coverage includes stronger signals and improved reception conditions (eg voice and data), easier session initiation or calling, and session or call maintenance. It is also included that it is easy. Reducing the burden on the RAN is to reduce the operating costs of service providers and because a smaller number of end users utilize radio (OTA) radio resources (eg, radio frequency bands and channels), which are usually limited. The transmission cost can be reduced.
Femtocell or femto access point (AP) coverage is often used in indoor areas (eg, residential buildings or) to reduce interference between mobile stations covered by macrocells and terminals covered by femtoAPs. It is intended to be confined to the boundaries of commercial buildings). In addition, limited coverage can also reduce crosstalk with terminals serviced by another adjacent femtocell. Improving indoor wireless coverage with femtocells reduces customer loss as long as subscribers feel positive about voice coverage and other data services with significant delay sensitivity, etc. You can also. In addition, femtocells can provide a wider variety of wireless voice and wireless data services to customers, as the provision of such services does not rely primarily on mobility RAN resources.
Integrating one or more wireless services with a premises network such as a computer server or related accessories in a small business is often quite common in view of the implementation of the integration, which often involves complexity. Utilize telecommunications technology along with the adoption threshold of. In addition, the connectivity of traditional devices and systems within the premises network to wireless routers and access points capable of providing wireless services is often limited, thus enabling integrated wired / wireless services. Effectively integrate the system that can be into the network and prevent it from accepting customers. As a result, the promising benefits associated with integrated services and related on-site networking have been taken advantage of very little.

Link 114<sub>λ</sub>It should be noted that the number of channel elements in is less than the number of channel elements in backhaul link 118. Therefore, multiple femto AP104<sub>1</sub>〜104<sub>N</sub>Serves by the femto network platform 130 through a single backhaul pipe 118 with less backhaul resources than traditional systems that functionally connect backhaul pipes 118 to each femto AP. Can be done.
Femto AP104<sub>1</sub>〜104<sub>N</sub>Is deployed within a limited coverage area that may include single-floor or multi-floor facilities or companies. Deployment plans often include several femto APs that are sufficient to minimize dead spots and achieve operational redundancy, which causes one or more of the provisioned femto APs to fail. If so, another additional femto AP functionally connected to the routing platform 110 can be used for communication. Therefore, this mesh femto network can self-heal. Companies can include business buildings such as office buildings, housing complexes, department stores, banks, restaurants, warehouses, government buildings, schools, hospitals, hotels, factories, airports, amusement parks, city parks, etc. Not limited to.

NID210<sub>μ μ</sub>Is functionally connected to the routing platform 110. The deployed femto AP can be further connected to a single backhaul pipe 116 via a routing platform 220. The routing platform 220 can direct traffic between radio devices located within different coverage areas. It should be pointed out that the routing functions provided by the routing platform 220 are centralized. As an example, an example of the corporate femto network architecture 200 is deployed in a multi-floor building, and each floor of the building, for example, coverage area 205.<sub>μ μ</sub>Consider a scenario in which multiple femto APs can be deployed. In this example, the first floor, eg 205<sub>2</sub>The mobile device on the first floor connected to the femto AP of the second floor connects to the second floor, for example the femto AP of 205P, without accessing the femto network platform connected to the controller component 120. Communication can be established with another mobile device on the floor (eg voice or data).
Alternatively, or in addition, FIG. 2B shows a block diagram of an example of the femto mesh network 250, in which the femto mesh network 250 is a set in which routing is distributed in a multi-coverage area environment and U is a natural number.

The aggregator component 270 can function as a pass-through element or at least one of traffic shaping components that maintains QoS according to a predetermined one or more QoS profiles for various types of traffic / signaling. In one aspect, the aggregator component 270 can also perform routing functions and act as a PBX to enable business-to-business communication. As shown in the figure, γ = 1, 2. .. ..

At least some of the functions of the aggregator component 260 can be performed by one or more processors (not shown). In order to operate the function at least partially or to give the aggregator component 260, one or more processors can store and obtain information from memory (not shown). This information can include at least one of a code instruction, a data structure, a program module, and the like.
In addition, FIG. 2C shows an example of a femto mesh network 280, in which the femto mesh network 280 uses a single controller component 120 to provide various routings related to the deployment of different enterprises. -The platform can be multiplexed. According to one aspect, the controller component 120 is a set of routing platforms 282 in which N is a natural number.<sub>1</sub>〜282<sub>N</sub>You can receive information from. Routing platform 282<sub>1</sub>〜282<sub>N</sub>Each of them, for example, Femto AP284<sub>1</sub>Mobile device 102 connected to each set of<sub>1</sub>Multiple femto AP284s to facilitate connection with<sub>1</sub>〜284<sub>N</sub>Can be connected to each pair of. Each routing platform 282<sub>1</sub>〜282<sub>N</sub>Is a set of femto AP284s within a corporate femto architecture or corporate femto network<sub>1</sub>〜284<sub>N</sub>Data can be received from the mobile device connected to. In addition, the routing platform 282<sub>1</sub>〜282<sub>N</sub>Can perform analysis to determine information related to routing received data (eg, source address, destination address, etc.). In addition, routes for forwarding packets from the routing platform can be determined based in part on its analysis and / or user-defined rules or policies and / or user selection. Specifically, the routing platform 282<sub>1</sub>〜282<sub>N</sub>Can determine whether a soft handover or a hard handover (shown by the dashed line in FIG. 1) can be performed. If a hard handover should be performed, Routing Platform 282<sub>1</sub>〜282<sub>N</sub>Can route data to the femto network platform 130 controller component 120, which routes data to the femto network platform 130 via the controller component 120. The controller component 120 can typically include the functionality of a second RNC or almost any other network management component associated with the femto network platform 130 that can be implemented at least partially by the FGW. I will point out. However, it should be noted that in this innovation, the controller component 120 does not perform one or more functions of any RNC, nor one or more operations. In one aspect, as illustrated in the example of the mesh femto network 280, the controller component 130 is a set of routing platforms 282 involved in the deployment of various enterprises.<sub>1</sub>〜282<sub>N</sub>Can be multiplexed.
Backhaul link 114<sub>λ</sub>Connection between and routing platform 110, NID210<sub>μ μ</sub>The connection between the routing platform 110 and the routing platform 110, and the connection between the routing platform 110 and the aggregator component 270 are the ports in the routing platform 110 illustrated in the embodiment 300 shown in FIG. It can be done by component 315. The port component 315 includes a parallel port (eg GPIB, IEEE-1284), a serial port (eg RS-232, V.11, USB, Firewire, IEEE-1394, etc.), an Ethernet port, V.I. 35 ports, X.I. It may include one or more port interfaces 317 for configuring one or more of the 21 ports, ports 319 which may include dry contacts and the like. One or more port interfaces 317 may include radio interfaces such as radio cards and related circuits for performing telecommunications. In addition, one or more port interfaces 319 may include one or more physical docks that support physical connectors for each port 319. The routing platform 110 is one or more femto AP104s.<sub>λ</sub>And can be configured or programmed to communicate wirelessly rather than by a routing cable. The configuration can be accomplished by a display interface (not shown) that allows data entry to the routing platform 110, or by a device such as a computer, mobile, etc. connected to the port component 315.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, each femto AP104 connected to the routing platform 110<sub>λ</sub>, Or the femto AP illustrated in Embodiment 200 and Embodiment 250 can include a radio controller (RC) node 105 that includes at least some of the functionality of the radio network controller. The routing platform 110 can functionally connect the RC node 105 between two or more femto APs deployed within Example 100 of a femto enterprise network system. As shown above, one or more links 114<sub>λ</sub>Can include at least an Iur interface capable of routing one or more packet streams between two or more femto APs that are functionally connected. The RC node 105 can have substantially the same functionality as the controller component 120. However, in one or more architectures or embodiments, the RC node 105 can be simpler than the controller component 120. Each femto AP104<sub>λ</sub>Having RC node 105 within is optimal (eg, quasi-linear) scaling or near-optimal (eg, linear) scaling of processing demand in the routing component with respect to the number of provisioned femto APs in the femto enterprise network architecture. Can be brought. Processing demand within the femto enterprise network increases due to increased routing or scheduling processing. It should be pointed out that scheduling is not about scheduling radio resources, but about scheduling packet deliveries performed by the routing platform 110. When a femto AP is added to the femto mesh network 100, the RC node 105 associated with the femto AP can give the femto AP an RNC function and thus the mesh network. However, the demand for backhaul resources, such as the backhaul link 118, and the controller component 120, does not increase as the number of femto APs functionally connected to the routing component 110 increases. Therefore, the embedded RNC function can improve the scalability of the network configuration in which the routing platform also functions as the wireless network controller.
The routing platform 110 can directly enable user plane connections for two or more femto APs, such as the femto AP 104.<sub>2</sub>And 104<sub>N</sub>Communication with, such as voice and data exchange and signaling can be established. In addition, the routing platform 110 is a mobile device that connects to different femto APs, such as 102.<sub>1</sub>And 102<sub>2</sub>Communication with and from can be enabled, and the traffic and signaling associated with that communication is routed within Example 100 of the femto corporate network without sending data or management packets to the femto network platform 130. To. For example, the routing platform 110 is a femto AP104.<sub>N</sub>Mobile device 102 serviced by<sub>1</sub>The traffic generated by Femto AP104<sub>4</sub>Radio device 102 serviced by<sub>2</sub>Can lead to. Mobile device 102<sub>1</sub>And wireless device 102<sub>2</sub>Communication with and from can be push-to-talk communication. Alternatively, or in addition, the routing platform 110 is a mobile device and 102.<sub>3</sub>It is possible to enable push-to-talk communication with a pseudo-fixed mooring device such as. In one aspect, the mobile or other first device is used by the mobile or other second device that communicates with the first device via the routing platform 110 and its respective femto AP. It should be pointed out that the routing platform 110 is unaware of traffic because it can operate with the first radio technology, which is different from the second radio technology. In one embodiment 300 shown in FIG. 3, the routing component 110 at least partially enables two-point communication between one or more devices, mobiles, etc. within the femto mesh network 100. Can include one or more push-to-talk drivers 307 for the purpose. In the light of such internal communication, in one or more external communications away from Example 100 of the mesh femto network, the routing platform 110 can allocate bandwidth primarily for control or signaling, and therefore. , Traffic on the backhaul network can be significantly reduced. In addition, such communications within Example 100 of the corporate femto network system reduce communication delays while improving the perceived QoS for delay-sensitive content such as multiplayer games, banking transactions, etc. be able to.
In one aspect, the routing platform 110 can receive carrier frequency information associated with the channel used for telecommunications within the coverage area of the corporate femto network 100 via the router component 305. The router component 305 can aggregate the carrier frequency data to form a carrier frequency map. In one aspect, this carrier frequency map allows load balancing of traffic within the corporate femto network 100 by dynamically allocating bandwidth to specific femto APs that are functionally connected to the routing platform. be able to. The scheduler component 309 can signal the bandwidth allocation to the femto AP in the corporate femto network 100.
The routing platform 110 is based in part on the routing information and is based on a femto AP, eg 104.<sub>N-1</sub>Packets received from can be derived. In one aspect, the routing platform 110 is a plurality of femto AP104s.<sub>1</sub>〜104<sub>N</sub>A communication packet can be received from one of them, and the routing information related to the communication packet can be determined. In one aspect, this routing information can indicate that the communication packet should be forwarded to the femto network platform 130. Therefore, the routing platform 110 can perform a hard handover and direct the packet to the femto network platform 110 via the controller component 120. In another aspect, the routing information is a first femto AP functionally connected to the routing platform 110, eg 104.<sub>N</sub>From the second femto AP, eg 104<sub>2</sub>Can be instructed that the packet can be forwarded internally. Further, in such a case, the routing platform 110 is a first femto AP (104).<sub>2</sub>) And a second femto AP (eg 104)<sub>3</sub>) Can be soft-handovered to establish communication, thus avoiding or mitigating dead spots or problem scenarios. In addition, the routing platform 110 determines control information or signaling for traffic that is routed directly between femto APs and delivers that control information or signaling through the backhaul pipe 118 via the controller component 120 to the femto network. -Can be routed to the platform.
In one embodiment 300, the routing platform 110 is a set of deployed femto APs, such as the femto AP 104.<sub>1</sub>〜104<sub>N</sub>Includes router component 305 capable of directing traffic and signaling between. Traffic can be routed at least in part to a set of algorithms held in memory element 349. Router component 305 can determine a near-optimal or optimal route for incoming data or management packets to avoid network congestion within the mesh femto network 100. In addition, router component 305 can also configure two-point communication as part of its routing function, at least in part based on the state of the channel. In addition, router component 305 can utilize one or more configured access lists 353 to route traffic and signaling to ensure data integrity or self-healing routing.
One or more access lists 353 may be a femto AP, eg 104.<sub>N-1</sub>Can at least partially regulate the level of service provided to user equipment. An access list may include one or more whitelists, or one or more radio devices, that at least partially identify a set of devices capable of providing radio services by a femto AP. It can include at least one of one or more blacklists that can be explicitly excluded from the femto service. In addition, the radio device in one or more blacklists may issue one or more warnings, notify the authority, track the location of the device within the corporate femto network 100, etc. Can trigger exception handling procedures, including. In one aspect, one or more access lists 353 can be received from the femto network platform 130, in which one or more access lists 353 are subscriber databases. Can be present in and can be configured via at least one of one or more external networks 140. In another aspect, the routing platform 110 is based at least in part on the signaling received from one or more femto APs in a set of femto APs deployed as part of the femto enterprise network 100. Includes an access list management component 338 that can at least partially generate or modify one or more access list 353 (eg, one or more whitelists or one or more blacklists). be able to. The access list 353 generated by the access list management component 338 can be active for a predetermined period of time, after which it receives from one or more network components. Logically or based on at least partly the signaling It can be physically deleted. Signaling can include one or more mobile device identifier attributes. The access list management component 338 allows or denies such one or more attributes, at least in part, based on a set of criteria (not shown) that can be retained in memory 349. Can be done. In addition, with one or more allowed mobile device identifier attributes, the default or initial access level, eg, almost all or all femto APs deployed as part of the corporate femto network 100, The identified mobile device can be serviced. The default or initial access level can be modified later, at least in part, based on the additional signaling received by the routing platform 110.

Perform almost any or any handover (eg, soft handover) within Example 100 of a mesh femto network without accessing the femto network platform 130, eg, sending routing or traffic to the femto network platform 130. To that end, the routing platform 110 can also set up and leverage one or more user plane connections. In one aspect, the routing component 110 is a femto AP104.<sub>λ</sub>Link between 114<sub>λ</sub>For example, the Iur interface can be utilized to enable soft handover. As shown in Embodiment 300, the routing platform 110 manages the handoff of the radio equipment serviced by the first femto AP to the second femto AP within the femto enterprise network architecture 100. It can include a handover component 325. The Handover Component 325 has a hard or soft handoff, at least in accordance with a set of handover criteria (not shown) that can be configured by the wireless service provider on an event basis or on time.

The routing platform 110 is a network that is part of one or more external networks 140, such as a non-mobile broadband internet service network, a broadband digital cable network, or one of a macrocell networks. Equipment 102 mainly serviced by<sub>3</sub>And femto AP104<sub>λ</sub>It can also allow the communication of one or more contents or traffic to and from the mobile device serviced by. In one aspect, device 102<sub>3</sub>Is a mobile device 102<sub>1</sub>It can be an IP television (IPTV) tuner capable of receiving caller identification information when the routing platform 110 receives a call addressed to. Such a function is such that a subscriber in the residence is associated with the mobile device 1021 and the subscriber is the device 102.<sub>3</sub>It may be advantageous to notify the subscriber when leaving the mobile device 1021 while utilizing. In another aspect, if the company is a wholesale store or a large retail store, device 102<sub>3</sub>Is a femto AP in the corporate femto network system 100, eg 104<sub>2</sub>Mobile devices serviced by, for example 102<sub>2</sub>To provide customer assistance to consumers associated with, the routing platform 110 can be a VoIP (voice over IP) transceiver within the customer service platform that can be connected to the mobile device.

In one aspect, during internal communication within the enterprise femto architecture 100, the routing platform 110 controls the femto network platform 130, eg, one or more gateway nodes within the femto network platform 130. A link can be established and maintained, and this control link can be used by the femto network platform 130 via a billing server to handle billing charges, but billing processing is one such as an IMS network. Or it should be understood that it can be done by the application layer in one of the plurality of external networks 140. In embodiment 300, the billing component 335 relates to a billing server that can apply various charges, for example, for internal communication within the corporate femto network architecture 100 and external communication with the femto network platform 130. It is possible to establish this control link and make it possible to propagate the control link to the femto network platform 130 in order to update the billing database. Charges related to internal communications can be lower than charges associated with external communications. In the event of a failure within the femto network platform 130, this control link is routed to memory within the routing platform 110, such as a buffer, so that internal communication within the mesh femto network 100 can continue uninterrupted.

While a fixed rate can be imposed for external communications, internal communications within Example 100 of a corporate femto network architecture can be free. In these billing examples, it should be noted that wireless service providers can charge fees for maintenance associated with this mesh femto network. In another billing example, the wireless service provider can perform maintenance on the mesh femto network 100 for free, but imposes a high rate on external communication with the femto network platform 130. Low rates can be imposed on internal communications within the mesh femto network.

FIG. 5 shows a diagram of an embodiment 500 of an enterprise femto network that enables the collection and utilization of location data according to aspects of the innovation. The position data can include one or more position estimates of entities tied to a mobile device or device with wireless capabilities. The routing platform 510 is a femto AP520.<sub>1</sub>〜520<sub>4</sub>Set clock layers within each, eg, synchronize to manage time-of-flight (TOF) measurements of propagation timing of one or more radio signals, such as one or more control signals, eg trigger, start, end, etc. , This can be Femto AP520<sub>1</sub>〜520<sub>4</sub>It is possible to estimate the distance of one or more of the mobile device (eg, mobile 430) or the device with wireless function (eg, 542) from one or more of them. Such distance or range estimation can allow the routing platform 510 to resolve the position estimation of the mobile device 530 or the device 542 with wireless capabilities. As an example, the routing platform 510 can triangulate the location of the mobile device 530, and the dotted lines near the mobile device 530 and through the mobile device 530 are femto AP520.<sub>1</sub>、520<sub>2</sub>, And 520<sub>3</sub>Shows the triangulation performed through. In addition, the routing platform 510 can triangulate the position of the device 542 and thus provide an estimate of the position of the entity 540 that is spatially associated with the device, eg, that entity can be a vehicle and of that vehicle. The navigation device can be a device 542. The memory in the routing platform 510 can hold a criterion for determining whether it is an entity 540 spatially associated with the device 542. Referring to Embodiment 250, in a femto enterprise network deployed in a plurality of coverage areas, location estimation can be generated by distance estimation generated by timing measurements performed by at least four femto APs. I will point out. As an example, Femto AP520<sub>1</sub>TOF measurements made using at least in part are a set of TOF bands or edges 532.<sub>1</sub>〜532<sub>4</sub>Can be brought. The TOF band width Δ532 is primarily determined by a clock source defined timing advance (TA) that determines the chip structure associated with one or more pilot radio signals. Although not shown, other femto APs are also femto AP520.<sub>1</sub>It should be pointed out that a TOF band structure such as the TOF band structure related to can be generated.
One or more position estimates can be communicated to consumer layer 580, which is available as part of a navigation service or location-based service. The routing platform uses this one or more location estimates for short message service (SMS) communication, multimedia message service (MMS) communication, unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) message, and email communication. , Or as at least one of the instant messages. In addition, one or more position estimates can be sent by lower level signaling, such as in a packet header or in a set of one or more bits in one or more control frames. In one aspect, sending location estimates is at least partially related to delivering content to the femto network platform 130, as described above. A gateway node that is part of one or more gateway nodes 545 can propagate this location estimation to a gateway node in one or more external networks 570, which gateway node has. The location estimate can be relayed to a service node within its external network to send the location estimate to the consumer layer 580. In one aspect, the one or more external networks 570 can be an IMS network or almost any or any packet-switched network.
Consumer layer 580 may include one or more devices operated by one or more subscribers or prosumers. As an example, the consumer layer can be a mobile device associated with the owner or lessor of entity 540. In one scenario, coverage area 505 can be a multi-floor or single-floor parking lot, and entity 540 can be a vehicle on which the routing platform 510 generates position estimates when parked. This position estimation of the parked vehicle can be provided to the consumer layer based on various criteria, such as when the registered mobile device re-enters the parking lot after the vehicle is parked. Alternatively, or in addition, position estimation may be provided in connection with the vehicle based on a request from a subscriber operating a mobile device, and a request for position estimation of the vehicle may be an SMS message, electronic. This can be done by dialing the extension number of a particular telephone number on the routing platform 510 that sends an email message or USSD code. As another example, the consumer layer 580 can be a law enforcement device and can supply one or more position estimates as part of the Communication Interception Act (CALEA). In some scenarios, an interface (not shown) within consumer layer 580 can provide a blacklist consisting of one or more unique identifiers for each radio device. In Embodiment 600, the routing component 510 may keep its blacklist in memory, eg, in one or more access lists. When a blacklisted mobile device attempts to connect to a femto AP that is part of the femto enterprise network, the routing component 510, for example, detects the location of the blacklisted mobile device. By sending an estimate, a law enforcement device within the consumer layer 580 can be warned. In addition, or as an alternative
In one aspect of the innovation, the routing platform 510 is utilized for traffic to take advantage of the high pilot transmission power and increase the number of femto APs that generate distance estimates for performing triangulation. It is possible to configure the delivery and transmission of one or more control signals that are at least partially used in TOF measurements on one or more channels or one or more frequency carriers. It should be understood that using a dedicated carrier for, for example, orthogonal triangulation, which is different from the carrier used for voice and data, can reduce the interference that can occur by generating position estimates. is there. As an example, a femto AP can carry one or more pilot signals for TOF measurements within a carrier wave in an unlicensed electromagnetic (EM) radiation band, while the femto AP is voice and Data can be carried within the channels of the licensed EM radiation band.
In one embodiment of the routing platform 510 shown in FIG. 6, the position engine 605 can generate one or more position estimates by triangulation. At least for that purpose, the timing component 607 allows the routing component 510 to set up and control the TOF measurement, and the analysis component 609 leverages the data collected by the timing measurement to calculate the position estimation by triangulation. , The algorithm storage unit 351 can hold a code instruction for performing triangulation at the time of execution. In one aspect, the analysis component 419 selects a propagation model held in the algorithm storage to include probabilistic aspects of propagation such as multipath and other diffusion, shading, path loss, etc. in the calculation of position estimation. be able to. One or more position estimates can be held within the position information unit 615.
The routing component 510 is at least partially based on the resolution hierarchy of one or more position estimates generated and the aspects of the associated position service, the complexity of one or more timing settings, such as coarse resolution or It is also possible to control the selection of clock sources sufficient for fine resolution position estimation. (1) For routing of specific content, for example content that is offloaded from a wide area network (WAN) to the corporate femto coverage area 505, the service femto AP unique identifier (ID) and mobile device 530 or mobile. It may be sufficient to associate it with the unique ID of device 530, and one or more external networks 570 can implement the WAN. In Embodiment 600, the location information unit 615 maps one or more unique femto IDs associated with each provisioned femto AP, and 520.<sub>1</sub>〜520<sub>4</sub>Can include deployment configurations of femto APs such as. (2) To perform a position-based handover from the first femto AP to the second femto AP at least in part, the routing component 510 can enable the handover of the provisioned femto AP. A clock source can be selected that provides a TOF band width of Δ534 that is less than the inherent spacing Δ', for example Δ / Δ'= 0.1 can be utilized. In Embodiment 600, the clock source selection can be performed at least partially through the timing component 607. As an example, Δ'can be calculated as the average of the nearest neighbor distances between femto APs. In addition, orientation decomposition can be performed to further refine position estimation to a particular tile to distinguish femto APs that are substantially equal or close to handover candidates. Azimuth-resolved timing measurements, such as the combination of AOA and RTT, are in the TOF band, eg 532.<sub>3</sub>Instead, tiles such as 536 (shown by thick lines) can be found. 520<sub>1</sub>A set of two or more antennas in a femto AP, such as, can be configured by the routing component 510 and used to result in directional decomposition, and the timing component 607 allows such configuration at least in part. You should understand that you can. (3) Tracking of the entity 540 associated with the mobile device 530 or the device 540 with wireless function enables triangulation of the mobile device 530 or the device 540 and is extremely accurate, eg, a position with a resolution of about 1 m. Finer resolution is needed to extract the estimates. To enable high resolution triangulation, the routing platform 510 provides a clock that provides timing advance (TA) such that Δ534 is narrow enough (eg, 1 m) to result in high resolution triangulation. You can choose the source. In Embodiment 600, the timing component 607 can select the clock source. One or more location estimates can be kept in memory that is part of the routing component 510 and propagated within or outside the boundaries of the coverage area of the corporate femto network. Can be done.
The routing component 510 utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning methods to infer satisfactory or optimal timing resolution to generate position estimates with spatial resolution suitable for a given position service (eg,). In a control scenario, you can make inferences and draw conclusions based on a set of metrics, arguments, or known results).

In one aspect, at least one or more processors that provide functionality to the network component can at least partially implement Example 3300 of this method. In operation 3310, it is detected that the mobile device is connected to the femto AP in the corporate network. In operation 3320, one or more security devices in the premises network are controlled, at least partially via one or more femto APs that are based at least in part on the location of the mobile device. Control can be achieved by transmitting signaling that carries a command regarding the operation of a security device, eg, a set of cameras capable of sensing visible or infrared light.

An example of this method can be done by at least one of the femto APs or the routing platform. In one aspect, at least one or more processors that provide functionality to the femto AP or routing platform can at least partially implement an example 3400 of this method. In operation 3410, it is evaluated whether the channel quality is below the threshold value. Channel quality can include the strength of FL and RL signals. If it is not below the threshold, run the evaluation again. If it is below the threshold, the flow is guided to motion 3420, which checks to see if it has reached the RF boundary. The result of not reaching results in directing the flow to operation 3410. On the contrary, the result of reaching results in transmitting the handover request in operation 3430. This RF boundary is configurable and can be defined at least in part according to the schedule of the femto enterprise network or at least one of one or more operating conditions, and one or more operating conditions are serviced. It may include at least one of network load, such as the number of mobile devices, interference with other femto, available bandwidth, or channel quality.

In one aspect, at least one or more processors that provide functionality to the femto AP can at least partially implement Example 3500 of this method. In operation 3510, the connection signaling is received from the mobile device, which connection signaling may include one or more radio pilot signals that can be transmitted when the mobile device operates in idle mode. At operation 3520, it is determined whether the mobile device is allowed to access the service via a femto AP, which can be a femto AP performing an example of this method. The grant or one or more access privileges can be determined by an access list that regulates at least the service level provided to the user equipment by the femto AP, such as one or more access lists 353. If the mobile device is authorized, operation 3540 records the connection as part of, for example, one or more access records 355 and conveys a connection report. In one aspect, the connection report can send registration information such as a time stamp, UE identification code or token. The reported connection reports can be aggregated in a routing platform that is functionally connected to a femto AP that can be an example of this method. Conversely, if the mobile device is not authorized, the flow is guided to motion 3530, which checks to see if the mobile device is a blacklisted device. If it is on the blacklist, exception handling is performed in operation 3550. Exception handling can include sending alerts, such as SMS communications, USSD codes, email messages, instant messages, etc., to authorities such as law enforcement agencies. If not on the blacklist, at operation 3560, the mobile device is only serviced in emergency mode.
FIG. 36 is a flow chart of an example 3600 of a method for assisting in locating a mobile device operating within a femto enterprise network, according to aspects described herein. A femto AP (eg, femto 104) that functionally connects to a routing component (eg, 110 or 510) within the femto enterprise network described herein.<sub>3</sub>) Can perform or carry out an example 3600 of this method. Alternatively, or in addition, at least one or more processors that provide functionality to the femto AP can at least partially implement an example of this method. In operation 3610, the timing setting is received. This timing setting can synchronize the time between a set of femto APs in the femtocell mesh network. Further, this timing setting can allow the selection of a clock source that can be part of a clock layer, eg, 445, which clock source is provided by a femto AP that implements an example of this method. Find the spatial resolution that can be obtained by triangulation that is at least partially based on the TOF measurements that can be performed. In operation 3620, a set of propagation timing measurements is collected. This set includes one or more measurements. At operation 3630, the set of timing measurements is communicated to the routing platform. In one aspect, the routing platform can leverage timing data to generate position estimates of entities associated with mobile devices or devices with wireless capabilities.
To provide a further context of the various aspects of this specification, FIG. 37 comprises wireless communication with relevant components capable of enabling the operation of the femtocell enterprise network according to the aspects described herein. An example of the environment 3700 is shown. The wireless communication environment 3700 includes the following two wireless network platforms. (I) The Macro Network Platform 3710 (which serves or facilitates communication with the User Equipment 3775 via the Macro Radio Access Network (RAN) 3770). Cellular radio technology (eg 4G, 3GPP UMTS, HSPA, 3GPP LTE, 3GPP In UMB), it should be understood that the macro network platform 3710 is implemented by the core network. (Ii) The femto network platform 3780, which femto network platform 3780 is connected to the femto network platform 3780 via the routing platform 102 and one or more backhaul pipes 3785. It is possible to communicate with the UE 3775 via the Femto RAN3790 and one or more backhaul pipes are substantially the same as the backhaul link 3853 below. The femto network platform 3780 typically turns the UE 3775 off the macro network when the UE 3775 connects to the femto RAN (eg, by a macro-to-femto handover or by scanning channel resources in idle mode). You should understand to load.
The RAN includes one or more base stations or one or more access points, as well as their associated electronic circuits and one or more deployment sites, in addition to radio links operated according to one or more base stations. I would like to point out that. Thus, the macro RAN3770 can include various coverage cells such as cell 1205, while the femto RAN3790 can include multiple femto access points. As mentioned above, it should be understood that the deployment density within the femto RAN3790 is substantially higher than that of the macro RAN3770.
In general, both Macro Network Platform 3710 and Femto Network Platform 3780 are packet-switched (PS) traffic (eg, Internet Protocol (IP), Frame Relay, Asynchronous Forwarding Mode (ATM)), and Circuit Switching (CS). Includes components that facilitate both rough (eg, voice and data) and control the generation of network radio communications, such as nodes, gateways, interfaces, servers, or platforms. In one aspect of this innovation, the macro network platform 3710 is a traditional network such as one or more telephone networks 3740 (eg, Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) or Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN)) or SS7 Network 3760. Includes one or more CS gateway nodes 3712 capable of interfacing CS traffic received from the network. Circuit-switched gateways 3712 can allow and authenticate traffic (eg, voice) originating from such networks. Further, the CS gateway 3712 can access the mobility data or roaming data generated by the SS7 network 3760 and the mobility data stored in the VLR, which can be, for example, in the memory 3730. In addition, one or more CS gateway nodes 3712 interface CS-based traffic and signaling with one or more gateway nodes 3718. As an example, in a 3GPP UMTS network, one or more gateway nodes 3718 can be implemented by one or more gateway GPRS support nodes (GGSN).
In addition to receiving and processing CS exchange traffic and signaling, one or more gateway nodes 3718 allow PS-based data sessions with serviced radios (eg, via macro RAN). Can be authenticated. A data session may include traffic exchange with networks external to the macro network platform 3710, such as one or more wide area networks (WAN) 3750, and one or more local area networks (1 or more local area networks. It should be understood that the LAN) can also interface with the macro network platform 3710 via one or more gateway nodes 3718. One or more gateway nodes 3718 generate a packet data context when a data session is established. To that end, in one aspect, one or more gateway nodes 3718 can facilitate packetized communication with another one or more wireless networks, such as a Wi-Fi network. Interfaces (eg, tunnel termination gateways (TTGs) in one or more 3GPP UMTS networks, not shown) can be included. It should be further understood that the packetized communication can include multiple flows that can be generated by one or more servers 3714. It should be noted that in one or more 3GPP UMTS networks, one or more gateway nodes 3718 (eg GGSN) and tunnel interfaces (eg TTG) include packet data gateways (PDG). ..
Macro network platform 3710 also includes one or more service nodes 3716 that convey the flow of various packetized information or data streams received through one or more gateway nodes 3718. As an example, in a 3GPP UMTS network, one or more service nodes can be implemented by one or more service GPRS support nodes (SGSN).
As shown above, one or more servers 3714 within the macro network platform 3710 may have a number of applications (eg, location services, online games, wireless) that generate multiple different packetized data streams or flows. You can perform banking, wireless device management, etc. and manage such flows (eg, schedule, queue, format, etc.). Such one or more applications may include, for example, add-on functionality to standard services provided by Macro Network Platform 3710. The data stream can be transmitted to one or more gateway nodes 3718 to initiate authorization / authentication and data sessions, and to one or more service nodes 3716 for subsequent communication. One or more servers 3714 provide the security of macro network platform 3710 (eg, implement one or more firewalls), one or more CS gateway nodes 3712 and one or more gateways. In addition to the authorization and authentication procedures that Node 3718 can perform, it can also ensure network operation and data integrity. In addition, one or more servers 3714 can provision services from one or more external networks, such as WAN3750 or one or more GPS (Global Positioning System) networks (not shown). It should be noted that one or more servers 3714 can include one or more processors configured to at least partially provide the functionality of the macro network platform 3710. To that end, the one or more processors can execute code instructions stored, for example, in memory 3730. In example 3700 of the wireless environment, the memory 3730 stores information related to the operation of the macro network platform 3710. Information includes business data related to subscribers, market planning and strategy, such as promotional campaigns and business alliances, operational data of mobile devices served by macro network platforms, services and privacy policies, etc. It may include logs of end-user services for law enforcement, etc. Memory 3730 is from at least one of one or more telephone networks 3740, one or more WAN3750s, SS7 networks 3760, one or more corporate networks 3765, or one or more service networks 3767. Information can also be stored.
One or more femto gateway nodes 3784 have substantially the same functionality as one or more PS gateway nodes 3718. In addition, one or more femto gateway nodes 3784 may include substantially all the functionality of one or more service nodes 3716. In one aspect, one or more femto gateway nodes 3784 facilitate handover resolution, eg evaluation and execution. Further, one or more control nodes 3720 can receive handover requests and relay those requests to a handover component (not shown) via one or more gateway nodes 3784. According to one aspect, one or more control nodes 3720 can support the RNC function and can be substantially similar to the control component 320 (FIG. 3) and include that function. Can be done.
One or more servers 3782 have substantially the same functionality as described in connection with one or more servers 3714. In one aspect, one or more servers 3782 can run multiple applications that provide services (eg, voice or data) to the wireless device serviced by the femto RAN3790. One or more servers 3782 can also provide security features to the femto network platform. In addition, one or more servers 3782, in addition to the data received from the macro network platform 3710, are virtually all packetized (eg, IP-based, Frame Relay-based, ATM-based) they generate. ) You can manage the flow (eg schedule, queue, format, etc.). It should be noted that one or more servers 3782 may include one or more processors configured to at least partially provide the functionality of the macro network platform 3710. To that end, the one or more processors can execute code instructions stored, for example, in memory 3786.
The memory 3786 can contain information related to the operation of various components of the femto network platform 3780. For example, operational information that can be stored in memory 3786 includes subscriber information, contract services, maintenance and service records, femtocell settings (eg, devices serviced by femto RAN3790, access control lists and whitelists). ), Service policies and service specifications, privacy policies, add-on features, etc., but are not limited to this.
It should be noted that the femto network platform 3780 and the macro network platform 3710 can be functionally connected via one or more reference links or one or more reference interfaces. In addition, the femto network platform 3780 can be functionally directly coupled to one or more of one or more external networks 3740, 3750, 3760, 3765 or 3767 (not shown). One or more reference links or one or more reference interfaces can connect at least one of one or more gateway nodes 3784 or one or more servers 3786 to one or more external networks 3740. , 3750, 3760, 3765 or 3767 can be functionally connected.
