Abstract
A method of providing a framework for efficient scanning and session establishment may include receiving vocabulary independent property information indicative of a property request and corresponding setting information of an application associated with a device capable of communication with a network communication environment, determining capabilities of the network communication environment relative to the received property information, and enabling generation of a selected scan function having selected scan parameters based at least in part on the determined capabilities and the property information. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.
Claims25
A method for providing interference avoidance in a Femtocell network, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a Femtocell, a mobile station generated-message relating to provision of system information of the Femtocell to the mobile station;
- and
- selectively providing the system information of the Femtocell to the mobile station based on the mobile station-generated message.
An apparatus for providing interference avoidance in a Femtocell network, the apparatus comprising processing circuitry configuring the apparatus to:
- receive, at a Femtocell, a mobile station generated-message relating to provision of system information of the Femtocell to the mobile station;
- and
- selectively provide the system information of the Femtocell to the mobile station based on the mobile station-generated message.
A method for providing interference avoidance in a Femtocell network, the method comprising:
- generating, at a mobile station, a message relating to provision of system information of a Femtocell to the mobile station;
- and
- providing the message to a network entity to initiate selective provision of the system information of the Femtocell to the mobile station based on the message.
A system for providing interference avoidance in a Femtocell network, the system comprising:
- a Femto base station having a coverage area overlapping with at least one neighbor cell;
- and
- a mobile station capable of receiving signaling from the Femto base station,
- wherein the mobile station is configured to generate a message relating to provision of system information of the Femto base station to the mobile station, and provide the message to the Femto base station or the neighbor cell, and
- wherein the Femto base station is configured to selectively provide the system information of the Femto base station to the mobile station based on the message.
