SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR ACCESS RESTRICTION OF USER EQUIPMENT DEVICES IN AN IP-FEMTOCELL SYSTEM

摘要

A system, method, and computer readable medium for screening services in a network system is provided. A list of electronic serial numbers of handsets in a user subscription may be compiled by a base station manager and transmitted to a femtocell system in a configuration download. The femtocell system may then screen electronic serial numbers of user equipments that attempt to register with the femtocell system. In an embodiment, the femtocell system may allow calls to be placed through the femtocell system on an emergency basis regardless of whether the user equipment has an electronic serial number that is authorized for access by the femtocell system. In non-emergency scenarios, only user equipments having an electronic serial number that matches an electronic serial number in the femtocell system's electronic serial number list are allowed to place calls or register with the femtocell system.
