METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISCOVERY
First Claim
1. A method of performing discovery in a communication system comprising a first wireless communication system and a second wireless communication system comprising a Femtocell access point (FAP) and a provisioning network controller for communicatively coupling the FAP to the first wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- a) sending a discovery request message comprising a licensed wireless cell information from the FAP to the provisioning network controller; and
b) receiving a discovery accept message at the FAP, the discovery accept message comprising identification of a default network controller determined based on said cell information, said discovery accept message sent by the provisioning network controller when the provisioning network controller determines that the provisioning network controller can accept the discovery request message.

Abstract
Some embodiments are implemented in a communication system that includes a first wireless communication system and a second wireless communication system that includes a Femtocell access point (FAP) and a network controller that can communicatively couple the FAP to the first wireless communication system. In some embodiments, the network controller can communicatively couple to the first wireless communication system through a UTRAN Iu interface. Some embodiments provide a method for performing discovery. The method sends a discovery request message that includes a licensed wireless cell information to a provisioning network controller. The method receives a discovery accept message at the FAP. The discovery accept message includes identification of a default network controller determined based on the cell information. The discovery accept message is sent by the provisioning network controller when the provisioning network controller determines that the provisioning network controller can accept the discovery request message.
