Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A femtocell for conserving power, which includes a transmitter module configured to be inactive for periods of call inactivity and data inactivity within a corresponding femtocell geographic coverage area, and includes a monitoring device configured to monitor the femtocell geographic coverage area, and further includes a controller module configured to cause a call handover to the femtocell when a cellular handset device is functioning and is located within the femtocell geographic coverage area. The femtocell also being configured to communicate with one or more macrocell base stations, each having a corresponding macrocell, which are configured to facilitate communication between the cellular handset device and a wireless network.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A femtocell for conserving power, comprising: a transmitter module of the femtocell configured to be inactive for periods of call inactivity and data inactivity within a corresponding femtocell geographic coverage area; a monitoring device of the femtocell configured to monitor the femtocell geographic coverage area for a presence of a cellular handset device; and a controller module of the femtocell configured to calculate a location of the cellular han…
