PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and apparatus for femtocell operation and resource management within a wireless network.SOLUTION: There are provided methods and apparatus that reduce network management overhead required for the operation of wireless femtocells. In one aspect of the invention, a central network entity governs the simultaneous operation of a plurality of femtocells by specifying modes of operation and operational parameters for one or more of the femtocells. In one embodiment, at least one of the specified modes of operation directs a femtocell to operate in a substantially autonomous manner within the network-defined operational parameters. Network-defined constraints are provided to the femtocell for example, in response to a successful registration attempt. |
