Femtocell service through a secondary connection

摘要

System(s), apparatus(es), and method(s) are provided to for providing femtocell service through a secondary connection to a network gateway node that is part of a service provider network. The secondary connection can be established in response to at least one telecommunication performance condition of a primary connection to the network gateway node; the at least one performance condition includes connectivity state of the primary connection or quality of traffic delivery through the primary connection. The secondary connection can be established, in part, via a home gateway node that is alternative to a home gateway node associated with a femtocell access point (AP) that enables, in part, the femtocell wireless service. The main home gateway node or the femtocell AP can initiate establishment of the secondary connection. Home gateway node(s) or femtocell AP(s) that can provide femtocell service through the secondary connection can manage connectivity with the network gateway node.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
monitoring, by a system comprising a processor, a performance condition comprising monitoring information representing a quality of traffic delivery through a first telecommunications channel of a primary backhaul link between a first femtocell access point device and a first customer premises equipment device; determining, by the system, a status relating to whether a second customer premises equipment device, identified as a customer premises equipment device with an active backhaul link, is available to establish a secondary backhaul link; receiving, by the system, a request to configure a second telecommunication channel subsequent to a secondary backhaul link connection being determined to be established; initiating, by the system, establishing a second telecommunication channel on the secondary backhaul link between a second femtocell access point device and the second customer premises equipment device in response to determining that a rule related to the performance condition is satisfied with regard to the quality of the traffic delivery through the first telecommunications channel; and initiating, by the system, configuring of the second telecommunication channel in response to the request and the secondary backhaul link connection being determined to be established.
