MOBILE DEVICES WITH FEMTO CELL FUNCTIONALITY

摘要

Aspects describe communications environments in which femtocell capability is provided to devices within the communications network. A non-femto enabled device and/or a femto enabled device can communicate with a femto enabled device in the same geographical area for femto-enabled peer-to-peer communication. Two non-femto enabled devices can be provided femto functionality through utilization of a femto enabled device, which operates as a hub between the two devices. Other aspects relate to enhanced position determination, adaptive coverage enhancement, local mobile networks, open access femtocells without a backhaul, and local broadcast of media though utilization of femto enabled devices.

主权项

1. A method for enabling communication through a femto enabled device, comprising:
receiving communication from a Radio Access Network (RAN) regarding an origination from a first device for communication with a second device; and setting up communication between the first and second device based on the communication from the RAN.
