HIGH RATE PACKET DATA (HRPD) IDLE STATE HANDOUT FROM FEMTO ACCESS POINT TO MACRO ACCESS NETWORK

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for identifying an address of a femto node during handoff of an access terminal from a femto node to a macro node.SOLUTION: The femto node assigns a unique identifier to the access terminal. The access terminal passes the unique identifier to the macro node 1705. The macro node partitions the unique identifier to determine the address of the femto node 1710, 1712. In another embodiment, the femto node registers its address with a domain name system 1760. The macro node queries the domain name system to obtain the address of the femto node.
