Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A clustered femtocell network including a plurality of femtocell access points that are connected via a logical interface to a mobile network in order to provide user equipments with radio access to the mobile network, wherein the mobile network includes a Mobility Management Function—MMF—, is characterized in that a logical function—Proxy Mobility Management Function P-MMF—is provided that localizes mobility management of the user equipments in the clustered femtocell network, wherein the P-MMF intercepts and interprets mobility-related signaling between the MMF and the femtocell access points in such a way that it emulates towards the femtocell access points the behavior of the mobile network's MMF and towards the mobile network's MMF the behavior of the femtocell access points. Furthermore, a method for operating a clustered femtocell network is disclosed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A clustered femtocell network, comprising: a plurality of femtocell access points that are connected via a logical interface to a mobile network in order to provide user equipment with radio access to said mobile network, the user equipment being configured to perform handovers between the femtocell access points, wherein said mobile network includes a Mobility Management Function (MMF) and a logical function, which is a Proxy Mobility Management F…
