  • Publication number: 20120083270
    Abstract: A system and methodology that facilitates user friendly and/or dynamic femtocell access provisioning based on Short Message Service (SMS) communication is provided. In particular, the system can enable users to update and/or view a femto access control list associated with a femtocell by employing SMS messages. Moreover, the system can receive a SMS message from a user equipment (UE) requesting an action (e.g., add, remove, and/or view an entry within a femto access control list) associated with femtocell access and identify a femtocell associated with the UE. Further, the system can analyze the SMS, request confirmation to perform the action, and execute the action on receiving confirmation from the UE.
