A method for deploying a femtocell within a coverage area of a number of active femtocells (402A, 402B) by a central network management entity of a wireless network, the method comprising: transmitting from the femtocell a registration request to the central network management entity; transmitting from the femtocell information relating to at least an operating environment of the femtocell to the central network management entity; receiving, by the deployed femtocell, a plurality of parameters for enabling a self-coordinated mode of operation for the deployed femtocell, switching between a network-controlled mode of operation and the self-coordinated mode of operating for the deployed femtocell based on of one or more of the following parameters: i) a number of active femtocells in a nearby vicinity, ii) an actual or anticipated network load, iii) spectrum considerations whether an RF spectrum is shared with other operators, autonomously selecting, by the femtocell, a frequency part and a size for the operation of the femtocell apparatus based at least in part on the received plurality of parameters (1300, 1400); enabling, by the femtocell, the self-coordinated mode of operation based on the selected frequency part and size for the femtocell apparatus; wherein the deployed femtocell provides a wireless communication service to a mobile subscriber in the self-coordinated mode of operation; wherein, when a quality of service between the deployed femtocell and the mobile subscriber degrades, the deployed femtocell in the self-coordinated mode of operation is configured to dynamically alter one or more radio operations constrained at least in part by the plurality of parameters without further exchanges with the core network. transmitting from the femtocell a registration request to the central network management entity; transmitting from the femtocell information relating to at least an operating environment of the femtocell to the central network management entity; receiving, by the deployed femtocell, a plurality of parameters for enabling a self-coordinated mode of operation for the deployed femtocell, switching between a network-controlled mode of operation and the self-coordinated mode of operating for the deployed femtocell based on of one or more of the following parameters: i) a number of active femtocells in a nearby vicinity, ii) an actual or anticipated network load, iii) spectrum considerations whether an RF spectrum is shared with other operators, i) a number of active femtocells in a nearby vicinity, ii) an actual or anticipated network load, iii) spectrum considerations whether an RF spectrum is shared with other operators, autonomously selecting, by the femtocell, a frequency part and a size for the operation of the femtocell apparatus based at least in part on the received plurality of parameters (1300, 1400); enabling, by the femtocell, the self-coordinated mode of operation based on the selected frequency part and size for the femtocell apparatus; wherein the deployed femtocell provides a wireless communication service to a mobile subscriber in the self-coordinated mode of operation; wherein, when a quality of service between the deployed femtocell and the mobile subscriber degrades, the deployed femtocell in the self-coordinated mode of operation is configured to dynamically alter one or more radio operations constrained at least in part by the plurality of parameters without further exchanges with the core network.
