1. A method implemented by a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a user, configuration settings for conducting data transfers via a macro cell base station and different configuration settings for conducting data transfers via a femtocell;
providing, by the mobile device, a unicast access terminal identifier (UATI) request;
receiving, based on the UATI request, a UATI;
determining, by the mobile device, whether the UATI includes a femtocell identifier;
applying, by the mobile device and when the UATI includes the femtocell identifier, the configuration settings for data transfers via the femtocell; and
applying, by the mobile device and when the UATI does not include the femtocell identifier, the configuration settings for data transfers via the macro cell base station.

Abstract
A mobile device sends a request for a unique wireless network session identifier and receives, based on the request, the unique wireless network session identifier. The mobile device determines whether the unique wireless network session identifier includes a femtocell identifier. The mobile device applies one set of configuration settings when the unique wireless network session identifier includes the femtocell identifier, and applies a different set of configuration settings when the unique wireless network session identifier does not include the femtocell identifier.
