X2 INTERFACES FOR ACCESS POINT BASE STATIONS IN SELF-ORGANIZING NETWORKS (SON)
First Claim
1. A method used in a wireless communications system that facilitates utilizing an interface to exchange data, comprising:
- receiving an on demand request from an access point base station upon a start up of the access point base station, wherein the request relates to initiating an interface to exchange data;
denying the request based upon at least one of a resource constraint or a timer constraint; and
utilizing an interface to exchange data between the access point base station and an access terminal when at least one of the resource constraint or the timer constraint are met.

Abstract
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate leveraging an X2-AP interface for data exchange between an access terminal and a Home access terminal. Based upon a received request from a Home access terminal, the access terminal can activate an X2-AP interface connection on demand over Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) based upon a maximum number of connections not being met and/or a timer evaluation that indicates the request is within an allowed time period. The capacity of the access terminal related to the amount of X2-AP connections can be managed based upon at least one of a timer evaluation, or a maximum number of X2-AP connections. The systems and methodologies provide an optimal and efficient technique in order to enable data to be exchanged between an access terminal and a Home access terminal utilizing an X2-AP interface.
