Leveraging a femtocell network for premises management or monitoring

摘要

The disclosed subject matter relates to an architecture that can leverage femtocell network infrastructure in order to facilitate premises management or monitoring. In particular, the architecture can leverage the local presence of a home nodeB (HNB) located at a premises associated with a subscriber in order to aggregate, process and/or distribute various state information that can be collected at the premises.

主权项

1. A femtocell device, comprising:
a memory that stores executable instructions; and a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the executable instructions to perform operations, comprising:
via network devices of a femtocell network comprising a femtocell network platform device, facilitating two-way communication between the femtocell device of the femtocell network that operates at a premises and a server device of a premises monitoring service that facilitates monitoring relating to the premises, wherein the server device is not a device of a communication network provider entity associated with the femtocell network and the two-way communication comprises first support information for the femtocell device to initiate a first communication with the server device and second support information for the server device to initiate a second communication with the femtocell device via the network devices of the femtocell network, and wherein the second support information comprises identifier data that identifies a subset of femtocell devices, comprising the femtocell device, from among a set of femtocell devices coupled to the femtocell network; andreceiving state information from a sensor, wherein the state information relates to a state of the premises detected by the sensor in accordance with the premises monitoring service and represents a state of an alarm system at the premises, and wherein the state information relates to a reading obtained by the sensor from a utility meter that tracks usage of a resource in connection with the premises.
