Apparatus and methods of hand-in of a call from a macro node to a femto node include receiving, at a target interface to a plurality of access points, a handoff request to handoff a call of a mobile station, wherein the handoff request comprises a cellular identifier corresponding to a pilot identifier of a pilot signal. Further, the apparatus and methods include determining that the plurality of access points share the cell identifier, and forwarding the handoff request to the plurality of access points that share the cell identifier. Additionally, the apparatus and methods include generating a handoff request acknowledgement comprising a pre-reserved resource that is common to the plurality of access points, wherein the pre-reserved resource enables the mobile station to communicate with the plurality of access points, and transmitting the handoff request acknowledgement to initiate the hand-in to one of the plurality of access points. |
