1. A method of communication, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a femto node, a first communication from a first apparatus, the first communication comprising an indication of one or more processing tasks to perform;
performing the one or more processing tasks; and
selectively transmitting a second communication to a second apparatus, the second communication comprising an indication of a result of the one or more processing tasks.

Abstract
Systems and methods for distributed computing between communication devices. A femto node is treated as a trusted extension of a user equipment and performs processing tasks on behalf of the user equipment. The femto node is also treated as a trusted extension of network servers and performs services on behalf of the network servers. Tasks are thus distributed between the network servers, the femto node and one or more user equipments. The tasks include processing data, filtering incoming messages, and caching network service information.
