METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION OF A FEMTOCELL
First Claim
1. A method for network management, the method comprising:
- receiving at a femtocell, information for initially configuring said femtocell for operation in a specified location;
configuring one or more parameters of said femtocell to an initial state utilizing said received information; and
reconfiguring said one or more parameters during operation of said femtocell based on one or both of characterizations of cellular signals and/or information received from a femtocell registry.

Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for installation and configuration of a femtocell are provided. In this regard, information for configuring a femtocell to operate in a specified location may be received by the femtocell and may be utilized to configure one or more parameters of the femtocell. Once the femtocell is operational the parameters may be updated and/or optimized based on one or both of characterizations of cellular signals and/or information received from a femtocell registry. In this manner the femtocell may be reconfigured utilizing the updated and/or optimized parameters. The one or more parameters may be configured based on attributes of the location in which the femtocell is to operate. The one or more parameters may be configured based on a location, number, and/or coverage area of other femtocells. The parameters may comprise one or more of: power levels, frequency of operation, and/or antenna beam pattern.
