FEMTO PARAMETER PROFILES BASED UPON NEARBY ACCESS POINT

摘要

Operating parameters for a femto access point (FAP) are efficiently and accurately defined. During provisioning of the FAP, the system obtains operating parameters utilized by a nearby FAP expected to have a substantially similar radio environment as the provisioning FAP. Moreover, weighting is applied to the nearby FAP to determine which set of operating parameters to utilize at the provisioning FAP. Accordingly, pre-existing operating parameters, optimized by the nearby FAP are employed to augment initial network listen measurements performed at the provisioning FAP, and thus improve speed and accuracy of initial FAP parameter provisioning.

1. A network device, comprising:
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
determining that a first femtocell device is being initialized to provide a first communication service via an initialization procedure that configures first data that represents a first operating parameter of the first femtocell device to be employed by the first femtocell device to provide the first communication service;in response to determining a criterion to be used to select second data, selecting the second data that represents a second operating parameter employed by a second femtocell device that was previously initialized to provide a second communication service; andtransmitting, to the first femtocell device, an instruction that instructs the first femtocell device to employ the second operating parameter to provide the first communication service.
