A Femto-Cell base station comprises a rule or rules linking two or more pieces of user equipment and/or appliances that can establish a direct communication contact with the Femto-Cell base station. The position of the linked pieces of user equipment and/or appliances within the area covered by the Femto-Cell base station is monitored. A processor is arranged to determine if the positions of the pieces of user equipment and/or appliances are in accordance with the rule or rules and to send a message to user equipment and/or an appliance if the positions are not within the rules. The above may apply to detecting the presence or absence of a users keys, for example, and alerting the user as appropriate. Alternatively, the processor may determine an operating parameter, for example an appliance malfunctioning, and report this to a user within the range of the Femto cell. |
