Abstract

A method for implementing a self organizing network includes establishing a connection between a femto base station and a network access device operable to provide the femto base station with Internet access. The method also includes establishing a backhaul connection between the femto base station and a wireless service provider's network via the Internet. The method further includes establishing a wireless connection with one or more endpoints via a radio frequency (RF) channel. The method additionally includes transmitting, from the femto base station to the wireless service provider's network, neighborhood RF interference information via the backhaul connection. The method also includes receiving RF channel re-provisioning information from the wireless service provider's network and re-provisioning the RF channel. The method further includes participating in a hand-off procedure to hand-off the endpoints to the re-provisioned RF channel.
