A
hybrid network controller may determine and / or communicate
traffic management information for enabling setup and / or handoff of call and / or communication session among femtocells, access points and / or end-point devices.
Traffic management information may comprise set-up instructions, handoff instructions, transmit power, neighbor
list information,
signal quality thresholds, frequency assignments,
transmission time, code assignments and / or antenna pattern assignments. The
hybrid network controller and / or an end-point device may control handoffs between a
communication device external to the communication
system and the femtocells, access points and / or end-point devices. Received
signal strength, interference levels, SNR,
signal path delay,
power consumption, traffic loads, bandwidth usage and / or
radio resource availability may be monitored and / or analyzed by the
hybrid network controller. The hybrid network controller may assign time slots, codes, antenna patterns as well as a serving
femtocell and / or AP for a set up and / or a handoff. The information may be communicated via wired, optical and / or
wireless interfaces.
