Patent ID: 8655347

Claim:
A method for measuring macrocell quality of at least one macrocell using a femtocell base station, the method comprising: measuring, by the femtocell base station, macrocell quality of at least one macrocell based on event information; generating macrocell quality report information based on a result of the measuring; and transmitting the generated macrocell quality report information to a server through a femtocell gateway, wherein the measuring macrocell quality includes: measuring the macrocell quality of a target macrocell corresponding to a macrocell identifier included in the event information when the macrocell identifier is present in the event information, and wherein the generating macrocell quality report information includes: initiating at least one threshold value based on threshold information included in the event in formation, determining whether the measured macrocell quality reaches the initiated at least one threshold value, and generating the macrocell quality report information by including the measured macrocell quality when the measured macrocell quality reaches the at least one threshold value.
