First Claim
1. A femtocell having a transceiver and a processor coupled to said transceiver, the femtocell comprising:
- means for synchronization of the femtocell on a preamble transmitted by a neighboring femtocell; and
means for determination of channel and radio parameters of said neighboring femtocell based on said preamble.

Abstract
A femtocell including a transceiver and a processor coupled to the transceiver for implementing transmission and reception in a wireless communication network utilizing OFDM/OFDMA, and the processor including modules for collecting information about neighboring base stations and femtocells and utilizing the collected information to select the femtocell'"'"'s own radio parameters, and a method for radio resource allocation in a wireless communication network implementing OFDM/OFDMA, the method including performing preamble synchronization by a sniffing femtocell on a neighboring femtocell, and determining radio resource parameters of the neighboring femtocell based on the synchronized preamble.
