Method and apparatus for determining rf parameters based on neighboring access points

An apparatus for configuring one or more radio frequency (RF) parameters of a femto node, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:
• determine capabilities of one or more neighboring femto or pico nodes based in part on signals received from the one or more neighboring femto or pico nodes,
• compare the determined capabilities of the one or more neighboring femto or pico nodes to one or more capabilities of the femto node, and
• adjust one or more RF parameters of the femto node based on the comparison;
• and
• memory coupled to the at least one processor.

An apparatus for configuring one or more radio frequency (RF) parameters of a femto node, comprising:

• means for determining capabilities of one or more neighboring femto or pico nodes based in part on signals received from the one or more neighboring femto or pico nodes;
• means for comparing the determined capabilities of the one or more neighboring femto or pico nodes to one or more capabilities of the femto node;
• and
• means for adjusting one or more RF parameters of the femto node based on the comparison.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code, which, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations for a femto node to configure one or more of its radio frequency (RF) parameters, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:

• code for determining capabilities of one or more neighboring femto or pico nodes based in part on signals received from the one or more neighboring femto or pico nodes;
• code for comparing the determined capabilities of the one or more neighboring femto or pico nodes to one or more capabilities of the femto node;
• and
• code for adjusting one or more RF parameters of the femto node based on the comparison.
