Abstract

See full text

A wireless network may comprise a plurality of base stations and a plurality of access points, such as femtocells, which may be installed in homes and/or offices, as deemed necessary to provide improved signal quality and increased data throughput while off-loading capacity from one or more near-by base stations. A user device may be configured to detect proximity to an access point and establish communications preferentially with the access point while refraining from communicating with a base station even though the user device is within a service region of the base station and can communicate with that base station.
