Patent number: 8655361Abstract: A femto cell service framework is employed for registration, activation, and provisioning of femtocell service. An account management service enables femtocell account creation, and registration thereof. Registration includes validation of wireless coverage for a location of operation of a femto AP, and validation of availability enhanced 911 (E911) service. As part of registration provisioning, record(s) are updated to indicate registration status. Connection of femto AP to a network interface triggers activation process; the femto AP delivers an activation request. A femto network validates registration of the connected femto AP and conducts a location tolerance check of a received actual location of the femto AP and a registered location. Upon tolerance validation, a cell identifier and radio frequency channel(s) are assigned to femto AP. When femto AP radiates wireless signal, network activation status indicators are provisioned. Handling of errors that arise during registration or activation is provided.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2013Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignees: AT&T Mobility II LLC, AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Robert Wayne Lott, Ravindra Babu Gurajala, Kurt Donald Huber, Judson John Flynn, William Gordon Mansfield, Jefferey Thomas Seymour, Rahul Neelakantan, Thomas Joseph Pitassi, John Potts Davis, Alfreda Downie, Stephen Leon Favor, Brian Keith Rainer, Dipak Kumar Sahoo, Victoria Collier, William Adams, Glen Zdroik, Gerald V.

Publication number: 20100041365Abstract: System(s) and method(s) facilitating mediation of information relating to communication sessions, and rating of and billing for communication sessions, in relation to a communication network employing femtocells and base stations, are presented. Call detail records (CDRs) are created containing location information identifying origination or termination locations for communication sessions associated with a user equipment (UE). For data sessions, data event records (DERs) are created to track data usage and specific data services used by the UE. A mediation and rating component receives the CDRs and/or DERs and correlates the respective records to create an enhanced CDR containing information that facilitates determining whether a femtocell or base station served the UE at the origination or termination of a communication session and information relating to data usage when a data service is used. Predefined rating rules are used to facilitate billing the subscriber in accordance with a subscriber rate plan.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2009Publication date: February 18, 2010Applicants: AT&T MOBILITY II LLC, AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Robert Wayne Lott, Ravindra Babu Gurajala, Kurt Donald Huber, Judson John Flynn, William Gordon Mansfield, Jefferey Thomas Seymour
