METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMICALLY DETERMINING THE SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR AN INFRASTRUCTURE DEVICE OPERATING IN LOCAL MODE

摘要

A method and apparatus for dynamically determining the scope of services for a base station operating in local mode. The method includes: receiving (206) an overlap status for at least one neighboring infrastructure device; detecting (208) that the infrastructure device has switched from a wide mode of operation to a local mode of operation; and selecting (210) one of a plurality of local mode operating states, based on the received overlap status.
