Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: supplying, by a system comprising at least one processor, a timing configuration for a set of femto access points; collecting, by the system, propagation timing data from a plurality of femto access points in the set of femto access points for a common ground truth associated with a mobile device; generating, by the system, a location estimate for the mobile device based at least in part on the propagation timing data; conveying, by the system, the location estimate for the mobile device; in response to a channel quality being below a predetermined threshold, probing, by the system, whether a radio frequency boundary has been reached, at least in part, by a wireless device; and in response to the radio frequency boundary being reached, conveying, by the system, a handover request and receiving, by the system, an indication to hand over to a target femto access point based at least in part on an access list that regulates attachment to the target femto access point.
