摘要 | A method of identifying femto base station handover targets for user equipment in a wireless telecommunications network, a femto gateway operable to execute that method and a computer program product. The method comprises the steps of: receiving an indication of user equipment entry into a geographical area served by a femto base station; storing user equipment entry information, generated from said received indication of user equipment entry; receiving an indicator from user equipment identifying a detected femto base station as a handover target; and correlating said indicator against said user equipment entry information to identify those femto base stations having entered user equipment as handover targets. | ||

主权项 | 1. A method of identifying, at a femto gateway, femto base station handover targets for user equipment in a wireless telecommunications network, said method comprising: receiving, at the femto gateway, an indication of user equipment entry into a geographical area served by a femto base station; storing user equipment entry information, by setting a flag for those femto base stations for which the indication of user equipment entry has been received; receiving, at the femto gateway, an indicator from user equipment identifying a detected femto base station as a handover target; correlating, at the femto gateway, said indicator against said set flags to identify only those femto base stations having set flags as handover targets; and transmitting a handover prepare message only to those femto base stations identified as handover targets. | ||
