USER INITIATED MOBILE LEARNING OF PREFERRED FEMTOCELL

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided to allow a mobile communications device to identify and store the locations of femtocells which are not contained on a preferred femtocell list of the mobile communications device. Upon identifying a specific femtocell, an authorized mobile communications device may register with the specific femtocell to initiate and receive calls. Furthermore, the present invention allows the mobile communications device to employ the stored location information to automatically identify the specific femtocell whenever the mobile communications device is in a vicinity of the specific femtocell.
