Abstract:
La ambigüedad (por ejemplo, confusión) asociada con identificadores de punto de acceso puede ser resuelta consultando a puntos de acceso objetivo candidatos y/o utilizando registros históricos que indiquen uno o más puntos de acceso a los que previamente tuvo acceso el punto de acceso; por ejemplo, mensajes pueden ser enviados a los puntos de acceso que tienen asignado el mismo identificador para ocasionar que los puntos de acceso monitoreen una señal de una terminal de acceso que recibió el identificador desde un punto de acceso objetivo: el punto de acceso objetivo entonces puede ser identificado con base en cualesquiera respuestas que indiquen que una señal fue recibida desde la terminal de acceso; en algunos aspectos, los puntos de acceso sujetos a ser consultados pueden ser seleccionados utilizando una prioridad de fila; además, se puede determinar, con base en transferencias previas de una terminal de acceso determinada, que cuando esa terminal de acceso reporta un identificador determinado, la terminal de acceso por lo general termina siendo transferida a un punto de acceso particular; por consiguiente, se puede mantener un mapeo para esa terminal de acceso que mapea el identificador a ese punto de acceso de manera que el mapeo puede ser utilizado para resolver cualquier confusión futura asociada con el uso de ese identificador por parte de esa terminal de acceso.
Abstract:
Ambiguity (e.g., confusion) associated with access point identifiers may be resolved by querying candidate target access points and/or by using historical records indicative of one or more access points that the access point has previously accessed. For example, messages may be sent to access points that are assigned the same identifier to cause the access points to monitor for a signal from an access terminal that received the identifier from a target access point. The target access point may then be identified based on any responses that indicate that a signal was received from the access terminal. In some aspects the access points subject to being queried may be selected using a tiered priority. In addition, it may be determined based on prior handoffs of a given access terminal that when that access terminal reports a given identifier, the access terminal usually ends up being handed-off to a particular access point. Accordingly, a mapping may be maintained for that access terminal that maps the identifier to that access point so that the mapping may be used to resolve any future confusion associated with the use of that identifier by that access terminal.

Abstract:
Systems, apparatus and methods for facilitating identification and/or acquisition of an access point are provided. Methods can include transmitting or receiving access point information ("API") indicative of an identification of the access point ("AP"). The API can be provided at the AP through hardwiring or receipt of configuration information input by a user or transmitted to the AP by a network operator through Over-The-Air ("OTA") signaling. The API can be computer-readable and, in some embodiments, the API can also be human-readable. The API can be transmitted on a paging channel from which user equipment ("UE") can receive information. The frequency at which the API is transmitted can be fixed, dynamic and/or configurable. Upon receipt of the API, acquisition of the AP is attempted if the AP is determined to be a permitted AP.
Abstract:
A radio frequency receive chain (Radio Frequency, RF, receiver) of an access point (femto BS) is reused for different functions. For example, the same RF receive chain (RF receiver) may be used to receive on a downlink at certain points in time and on an uplink at other points in time. An RF receive chain that is used to receive synchronization signals in downlink received from a macro base station also may be used to receive uplink signals from an access terminal to provide assistance for hand-in (macro BTS to femto BTS handover) of the access terminal. Accelerated searching for hand-in may be provided through the use of a relatively small search window for hand-in of an access terminal to a small coverage access point. In some aspects, the search window may be defined based on the distance between access points or calibration of synchronization error between access points acquiring timing information from a macro BTS at a femto BTS.
