Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2013123528A1] Scanning for femto access points includes scanning out-of-band (OOB) channels to discover OOB signals associated with the femto access point. When a femto access point is first discovered, a first type of scan is performed of each of the OOB channels. The user equipment (UE) determines whether any received responses originate from femto OOB access points and, if so, updates a search database of the UE. During subsequent visits to the area of the femto OOB access points, when the UE detects entry to a fingerprint area of the femto OOB access point, a second type of scan is performed, in which each of the OOB channels with femto OOB access points identified in the search database are scanned. If responses are detected to this second type of scan, a proximity indication is transmitted using in-band signals to a serving macro access point.
