Abstract: Embodiments of the claimed subject matter provide embodiments of a method and apparatus for dynamically modifying cell reselection parameters and/or handover parameters. One embodiment of the method includes providing a request for a cell reselection parameter or handover parameter in response to a small cell determining that a number of cell reselections or a number of handovers between the small cell and at least one macrocell exceeds at least one threshold. In this embodiment, the cell reselection parameter or handover parameter is stored in the small cell.

Abstract: An exemplary method of facilitating communications involving a Femto base station (FBS) includes initiating a dedicated backhaul quality of service (QoS) request by the FBS. The request is based on at least an association between the FBS and a wireline backhaul resource used by the FBS. The QoS for the wireline backhaul resource is based on a QoS for a wireless communication session corresponding to the request.

Abstract: An exemplary method of facilitating communications involving a Femto base station (F-BS) includes establishing an association between the F-BS and a wireline backhaul resource used by the F-BS for initiating at least one traffic flow of the F-BS for a wireless communication session. Quality of service information for the wireless communication session is determined. The determined quality of service information allows for determining a corresponding quality of service requirement of the backhaul resource in the packet transport network. The established association is used for identifying the corresponding quality of service to the F-BS on the wireline backhaul resource of the established association during the wireless communication session.

Abstract: Two intelligent nodes are provided with the capability of negotiating a protocol between them so that if the intelligent nodes operate at two different protocols then they can select a protocol appropriate for their communication. Furthermore, the intelligent nodes are provided with a locking shift capability so as to select between codesets that are available within a selected protocol.
