SYSTEM AND METHOD TO PERFORM ACCESS CONTROL AND PAGING USING FEMTO CELLS

Abstract

Methods and apparatus for performing femto cell access and paging control for a wireless access terminal (e.g. a cell phone handset) within a network of multiple femto cell components (e.g. HNBs) and an access control component (e.g. a mobile operator's core network). One method comprises storing a first group association of femto cells, using common characteristic (e.g. a Closed Subscriber Group ID), storing a second group association among access terminals (e.g. defining which access terminals belong to which Closed Subscriber Group), and authorizing access to an access terminal to all of the femto cell components belonging to the first group. The access terminal may receive pages from any or all of the femto cells belonging to the group. Residential and enterprise deployments may be co-located.
