Abstract

See full text

An example method includes receiving data from a femto access point; evaluating resources being used by a macro network in which the femto access point resides; determining whether the femto access point is operating in a constrained bandwidth mode; and reserving particular resources for the femto access point to use for its communications, where the particular resource is allocated from available resources within the macro network. In a more particular embodiment, where those resources refer to spectrum resources, the method includes allocating spectrum resources between femto and macrocellular systems. In other embodiments, the method includes identifying a total throughput associated with the femto access point and one or more macro network cells, where a change in reserving particular frequencies is executed based on determining the total throughput being higher than a current throughput. The data from the femto access point can include path loss data and geolocation data.
