Abstract: A method for managing power control of enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) uplink (UL) channels of at least one user equipment (UE) that is located on a femtocell base station (FBS), is provided herein. The method includes calculating, for the UE, a maximum dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH) power level. The method also includes lower, by the FBS, a DPCCH power level for the UE when the actual DPCCH power level is exceeding the maximum DPCCH power level for the UE. The lowering of the DPCCH power level is independent of a signal-to-interference (SIR) target for the FBS.

Abstract: A method of invoking denial of service in 3G networks is provided. The method includes receiving a downlink UMTS signal that is operating at a downlink UMTs frequency provided by the UMTS base station. A reference downlink UMTS signal is provided with a reference downlink UMTS frequency. The reference downlink UMTs frequency is aligned with the downlink UMTS frequency based on a frequency offset between the downlink UMTS frequency and the reference downlink UMTS frequency to provide an aligned frequency. A common pilot channel (CPICH) is transmitted over the reference downlink UMTS signal operating at the aligned frequency. Service for the UMTS base station is denied when the CPICH is combined with a UMTS base station CPICH operating at the downlink frequency.
