Virtual neighbor objects for managing idle mode mobility in a wireless network

摘要

Idle mode reselection is presented herein. A virtual neighbor component can create at least one virtual neighbor object and associate the at least one virtual neighbor object with wireless access points. Further, a reselection component can facilitate idle mode reselection between a base station and a wireless access point of the wireless access points based on the at least one virtual neighbor object.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
creating, by a system comprising a processor, a virtual neighbor object comprising a channel number and a scrambling code; referencing, by the system, femtocell devices utilizing the virtual neighbor object; sending, by the system, neighbor information directed to a mobile device, wherein the neighbor information comprises the virtual neighbor object and represents channels of neighboring femtocell devices within a defined proximity to the mobile device; and in response to the sending of the neighbor information, granting, by the system based on the virtual neighbor object and an access restriction that references a signal quality associated with a communication between a femtocell device of the femtocell devices and the mobile device, an idle mode reselection between a wireless access point device and the femtocell device.
