Out-of-band communication neighborhood-based agent for the femto cell operation

摘要

Out of band (OOB) communication facilitates femtocell operation. An out of band communication with a node (e.g., mobile client device) to provide assistance in one or more neighbor agents to support femur cell discovery, reselection, and / or interference mitigation Offer faith. Out of band communication techniques provide low power discoveries, connections, and communications as compared to corresponding femtocells or cellular network communication techniques. The OOB neighbor agent is provided in connection with the femtocell to provide transmit power level control for the femtocell. In operation, when the client device detects and discovers an OOB neighbor agent, the femtocell can be discovered, thereby avoiding the need for actively searching the femtocell.
