<p>Devices and methods are provided for handling a visitor access terminal (AT) associated with a macro network, in response to the visitor AT entering a coverage area of an access point (AP) base station. In one approach, the method involves allowing registration of the visitor AT with the AP base station, and forwarding information regarding the registration to the macro network. Upon activation of the visitor AT, communication between the visitor AT and the macro network may be facilitated by, for example, forwarding a paging request to the visitor AT through the AP base station. Devices and methods are provided for handling a visitor access terminal (AT) associated with a macro network, in response to the visitor AT entering a coverage area of an access point (AP) base station. In one approach, the method involves allowing registration of the visitor AT with the AP base station, and forwarding information regarding the registration to the macro network. Upon activation of the visitor AT, communication between the visitor AT and the macro network may be facilitated by, for example, forwarding a paging request to the visitor AT through the AP base station. A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag can be used for tracking and monitoring. The tag may transmit information via an RFID link, or via a further link, and the tag may be commissioned or decommissioned via this further link. The further link may be a cellular telephone network, a satellite, a wireless computer network. The tag may include a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver and, if so, may use coarse location information from a received wireless signal to more rapidly calculate a GPS fix. The tag may carry out power management based on sensor inputs and/or a geofencing analysis. The tag may adjust a sensor configuration based on a received wireless signal. The tag may have an RFID reader that can communication with other tags. The tag may have a deep sleep mode, and may exit that mode only in response to a human act.</p> |
