METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CLASSIFYING FEMTO NODE USERS
First Claim
1. A method for classifying devices that communicate with a femto node for providing services thereto, comprising:
- monitoring one or more parameters communicated by a device to the femto node;
assigning a classification to the device related to a frequency of using the femto node based in part on the one or more parameters; and
providing services to the device based on the classification.

Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with classifying devices that communicate with a femto node for providing services thereto. In one example, a node is equipped to monitor and/or receive one or more parameters communicated by a device, assign a classification to the device related to a frequency of using the femto node based in part on the one or more parameters. In an aspect, the node is equipped to provide services to the device based on the classification. In another aspect, the node is equipped to provide the classification to one or more femto nodes, including the femto node, for providing services to the device.
