BACKGROUND Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) tele communication
systems provide wireless communication to mobile devices over a radio access network …

In a traditional mobile telecommunication network, mobile stations (eg, mobile phones)
communicate via an air link with a stationary base transceiverstation (BTS), typically a tower …

BACKGROUND 0002 Femtocells are wireless access points that operate in licensed
spectrum to connect standard mobile devices to a service provider's network using a …

A femtocell increases efficiency and coverage of a macrocellular network operating in a co-
channel manner within the macrocell spectrum by selecting subcarriers for its mobile station …

BACKGROUND Wireless communications systems generally use multiple frequencies to
provide greater bandwidth than would be pos sible using a single frequency. Such systems …

BACKGROUND 3GPP2 standards are being developed to support femto cells, which
employ Small base stations with a small coverage area. Femtocells might be sold by …

BACKGROUND Multiple access wireless communication systems, such as mobile radio
communications systems, periodically require optimization to improve performance …

The present invention provides a method for implementation in a mobile unit that is
configured to communicate with a wireless communication system that includes macrocells …

a Femtocell is a smaller cellular base station or access point that operates in either licensed
frequencies or, if so desired, in unlicensed frequencies. It is typically designed for use in …

BACKGROUND Modern wireless telecommunication systems aim to effi cient utilization of
the available frequency spectrum So as to maximize capacity and throughput. Multiple …
