FEMTOCELL LOCAL BREAKOUT MANAGEMENT SERVICES
First Claim
1. A system that facilitates management services at a femto access point (FAP) that supports local breakout, comprising:
- a policy component that enforces one or more routing policies to determine a route for traffic received at the FAP; and
a routing component that directs the traffic based in part on the determined route.

Abstract
A system and methodology that provides management services during local breakout at a femto access point (FAP) is provided. In particular, the FAP facilitates policy management and employs a policy component to perform an analysis and enforce a set of policies for dynamically selecting an optimal route for traffic received at the FAP based on a decision-making process. Typically, the set of policies can specify different routes based on various factors, such as, but not limited to, type of traffic, current and/or future network resource availability, current time, day and/or date, location of the FAP, location of a UE sending/receiving the traffic, a lowest cost route, and/or route based on cost-benefit, etc. Further, a monitoring component is employed to observe the route employed by that traffic, which can be utilized by various services, such as, billing, Quality of Service, security management, address management, failure management and/or provisioning.

13. A method that facilitates local breakout mechanisms at a femto access point (FAP) based on policy analysis, comprising:
-
receiving a communication at the FAP; applying one or more routing policies to determine if local breakout can be preformed at the FAP; and routing the communication directly to a destination without consuming mobility network resources if determined that local breakout can be performed. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system that facilitates service management during local breakout at a femto access point (FAP), comprising:
-
means for determining a path for traffic received at the FAP based in part on an application of one or more routing policies; and means for routing the received traffic directly to a destination, without directing the received traffic through a core mobility network, when the path indicates that local breakout can be performed at the FAP. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
