Abstract
System(s) and method(s) provide access management to femtocell service through access control list(s) (e.g., white list(s)). Such white list(s) can be configured via a networked interface which facilitates access management to a femtocell. White list(s) includes a set of subscriber station(s) identifier numbers, codes or tokens, and also can include additional fields for femtocell access management based on desired complexity. Various example aspects such as white list(s) management, maintenance and dissemination; pre-configuration; and inclusion of wireless device(s) or subscriber(s) are also provided. An access management component can facilitate automatic population of a white list(s) associated with a femtocell and can prompt a communication device detected in the femtocell coverage area to inquire whether the communication device desires to connect to the femtocell, be entered into the white list(s), and access a services associated with the femtocell, on a permanent basis or temporarily for a specified period of time.
