Femto cell visitation history for location based services
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- aggregating, by a system comprising a processor, visitation data for mobile devices and femto access point devices resulting in aggregated visitation data; and
generating, by the system, mobility matrices based on the aggregated visitation data, wherein a mobility matrix of the mobility matrices comprises integer matrix elements indicative of a number of attachment attempts from a mobile device of the mobile devices to a femto access point device of the femto access point devices, and wherein an accuracy level of the integer matrix elements increases with an increase in the number of the attachment attempts.

Abstract
Collection and communication of data are provided on handset attachment procedure, or visitation, to one or more femto cells to provide location information. A mobility component receives actual subscriber and femto access point (AP) attachment signaling and extracts visitation data that facilitates generation of real-time or historical visitation reports. Location information is conveyed through visitation reports which can include mobile device identifier(s), femto AP location, and a timestamp. Visitation reports also can include processed visitation data such as mobility matrices, historical mobility patterns or profiles, and predicted mobility events. Provision of location information occurs without the need for dedicated handset functionality, and associated hardware, or additional battery draw.

7. A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
combining visitation information generated by mobile devices and femto access point devices resulting in combined visitation information; and generating mobility matrices based on the combined visitation information, wherein a mobility matrix of the mobility matrices is indicative of a number of attachment attempts from a mobile device of the mobile devices to a femto access point device of the femto access point devices, and wherein an accuracy level of integer matrix elements of the mobility matrix increases with an increase in the number of attachment attempts. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; aggregating visitation information associated with mobile devices and femto access point devices resulting in aggregated visitation information; and generating mobility matrices based on the aggregated visitation information, wherein a mobility matrix of the mobility matrices is indicative of a number of attachment attempts from a mobile device of the mobile devices to a femto access point device of the femto access point devices, and wherein an accuracy level of integer matrix elements of the mobility matrices increases with an increase in the number of the attachment attempts. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
