Enterprise Level Management in a Multi-Femtocell Network
First Claim
1. A method for communication, the method comprisingin a communication system comprising a hybrid network controller and one or more femtocells, one or more access points, and one or more endpoint devices:
- receiving by said one or more endpoint devices, traffic management information for enabling handoff of a communication session between and/or among said one or more femtocells and/or said one or more access points; and
enabling said handoff of said communication session by said one or more endpoint devices based on said received traffic management information.

Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for enterprise level management in a multi-femtocell network are provided. In this regard, one or more endpoint devices may receive traffic management information from a hybrid network controller for enabling handoff of calls and/or communication sessions among femtocells and/or access points. The received traffic management information may comprise set-up instructions, handoff instructions, transmit power, neighbor list information, signal quality thresholds, frequency assignments, transmission time, code assignments and/or antenna pattern assignments. The endpoint device may control handoffs between a communication device external to the communication system and the femtocells, access points and/or end-point devices.
