DISCONTINUOUS TRANSMISSION IN FEMTOCELLS

Systems, methods, devices, and computer program products are described for discontinuous transmissions in a wireless communications system. In one example, a femtocell uses out-of-band (OOB) signals to detect the presence of user equipment (UEs) in a femtocell coverage area. In response to the detec...

Summary:Systems, methods, devices, and computer program products are described for discontinuous transmissions in a wireless communications system. In one example, a femtocell uses out-of-band (OOB) signals to detect the presence of user equipment (UEs) in a femtocell coverage area. In response to the detection, the femtocell may transmit in-band signals to facilitate communication with and registration of the detected UE. The femtocell may then perform discontinuous in-band transmissions to the registered UE.
