Abstract
A system and method for creating a localized silence area. A mobile device may be registered with an access point base station. Any direct communication links from the mobile device to any other base stations may be removed. An indication may be given to the mobile device that the mobile device is in a localized silence zone. The indication may include a request that the mobile device operate in a silent mode, information about making outgoing calls, information about receiving incoming calls, or a combination of these. Procedures for incoming voice calls to the mobile device may be different for different priority levels.

10. An access point base station, comprising:
-
at least one wireless port for providing bi-directional communication with one or more mobile devices, wherein the at least one wireless port is usable in providing wireless communication in a local area; a first port for providing bi-directional communication with an access network, wherein the access network provides wireless communication in a macro area via a macro base station; a processor coupled to the at least one wireless port and the first port; and a memory medium coupled to the processor, wherein the memory medium comprises program instructions executable by the processor to; receive a mode and a list of mobile device from the access network via the first port; register a mobile device according to the mode and the list via the at least one wireless port; remove any direct communication links from the mobile device to any other base stations via the access network; indicate to the mobile device, via the at least one wireless port, that the mobile device is in a localized silence area; and send information to the mobile device about receiving voice call. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
