INTERFACE FOR ACCESS MANAGEMENT OF FEMTO CELL COVERAGE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A network device, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
communicating with a first femto access point device associated with first account data indicative of a first subscriber to a network service, wherein the first femto access point device comprises first access control data comprising first user equipment identity data representing a first user equipment device that is allowed to access the network service via the first femto access point device;
determining the first user equipment device is associated with second account data indicative of a second subscriber;
determining that the second account data is associated with a second femto access point device; and
transmitting, to a first receiving device associated with the first account data, first adding data comprising a request to authorize adding second user equipment identity data representing a second user equipment device associated with the first account data to second access control data associated with the second femto access point device.

Abstract
Access to femto cell service is managed through access control list(s), or “white list(s).” Such white list(s) can be configured via a networked interface which facilitates access management to a femto cell. White list(s) includes a set of subscriber station(s) identifier numbers, codes or tokens, and can also include additional fields for femto cell access management based on desired complexity. Various interfaces and user profiles are associated with granting different levels of access to requesting UEs.

12. A method, comprising:
-
in response to communication with a first femto access point device associated with first account data indicative of a first subscriber to a network service, wherein the first femto access point device stores first access control data comprising first user equipment identity data representing a first user equipment device that is authorized to utilize the network service via the first femto access point device, determining, by a system comprising a processor, the first user equipment device is associated with second account data indicative of a second subscriber; determining, by the system, that the second account data is associated with a second femto access point device; and communicating, by the system, a first request to a first receiving device associated with the first account data, wherein the first request comprises a request to authorize adding second user equipment identity data representing a second user equipment device associated with the first account data to second access control data associated with the second femto access point device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
in response to a communication with a first femto access point device related to first account data indicative of a first subscriber to a network service, wherein the first femto access point device stores a first access control data structure comprising first user equipment identity data representing a first user equipment device that is authorized to utilize the network service via the first femto access point device, determining the first user equipment device is associated with second account data indicative of a second subscriber; determining that the second account data is associated with a second femto access point device; and sending, to a first receiving device associated with the first account data, a first request to authorize adding second user equipment identity data representing a second user equipment device associated with the first account data to a second access control data structure associated with the second femto access point device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
