Service continuity during local breakout in a femtocell
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a memory to store executable instructions; and
a processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the executable instructions to perform operations comprising;
determining that a user equipment is communicatively attached to a femto access point device that is coupled to a local area network,determining a synchronization parameter associated with the user equipment based on an analysis of parameter data stored within an access control data structure associated with the femto access point device,based on defined input data, determining data that is to be synchronized between the user equipment and a device of the local area network,in response to the determining that the user equipment is communicatively attached to the femto access point device, initiating, based on the synchronization parameter, a synchronization of the data between the user equipment and the device via the femto access point device, wherein the synchronization is facilitated without a transmission of the data via a macro network device of a macro network, anin response to determining that the user equipment is detaching from the femto access point device, interrupting the synchronization and directing information indicative of an amount of the data that has been transmitted between the user equipment and the device to be stored at the femto access point device, wherein the amount of the data comprises a percentage of the data that has been transmitted between the user equipment and the device.

Abstract
A system and methodology that facilitates service continuity when a user equipment (UE), employing local breakout mechanisms at a femto access point (FAP) for a communication session, moves out of the femto coverage area is provided. In particular, a network change detection component can be employed to detect when the UE, attached to the FAP, changes its connection from the femto network to the macro network. Further, an active communication session can exist between the UE and a device/service/application on a local Area network (LAN) connected to a FAP, and/or the Internet, which utilizes local breakout at the FAP. When the UE moves out of the femto network, a context management component can be employed to seamlessly resume the communication session, via the macro network.

12. A method, comprising:
-
determining, by a system comprising a processor, that a user equipment is coupled to a femto access point device associated with a femtocell network; analyzing, by the system, parameter data stored within an access control data structure associated with the femto access point device to determine a synchronization parameter associated with the user equipment; based on defined input data, selecting, by the system, data that is to be synchronized between the user equipment and a device of a local area network coupled to the femto access point device; in response to the determining that the user equipment is coupled to the femto access point device, facilitating, by the system, a synchronization of the data between the user equipment and the device via the femto access point device, wherein the synchronization is based on the synchronization parameter and is facilitated without transmitting the data via a macro network device of a macro network; and in response to determining that the user equipment has decoupled from the femto access point device, interrupting, by the system, the synchronization and directing, by the system, information representing a percentage of the data that has been transmitted between the user equipment and the device to be stored at the femto access point device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
