Systems, Methods, and Computer Program Products for Managing Access to Femtocell Coverage

A femtocell access system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising
• granting, using a first identifier corresponding to a service to which a first communication device is subscribed, the first communication device temporary access to a femtocell to facilitate obtaining a second identifier, wherein the femtocell is associated with a femtocell coverage area,
• generating a second-identifier request comprising a second-identifier list,
• sending, using the first identifier, the second-identifier request to the first communication device,
• obtaining, during the temporary access, the second identifier, wherein obtaining the second identifier comprises receiving, from the first communication device, a second-identifier response comprising a selection of the second identifier selected from the second-identifier list, and
• granting the first communication device access to the femtocell to facilitate local routing of communications between the first communication device and a second communication device located within the femtocell coverage area, wherein the local routing of the communications occurs within the femtocell coverage area, and wherein the second identifier is used for the local routing.

A computer-readable storage device comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a system, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• granting, using a first identifier corresponding to a service to which a first communication device is subscribed, the first communication device temporary access to a femtocell to facilitate obtaining a second identifier, wherein the femtocell is associated with a femtocell coverage area;
• generating a second-identifier request comprising a second-identifier list;
• sending, using the first identifier, the second-identifier request to the first communication device;
• obtaining, during the temporary access, the second identifier, wherein obtaining the second identifier comprises receiving, from the first communication device, a second-identifier response comprising a selection of the second identifier selected from the second-identifier list;
• and
• granting the first communication device access to the femtocell to facilitate local routing of communications between the first communication device and a second communication device located within the femtocell coverage area, wherein the local routing of the communications occurs within the femtocell coverage area, and wherein the second identifier is used for the local routing.
