Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for controlling data distribution via cellular communications with an integrated femtocell and set-top-box (IFSTB) device are provided. In this regard, a cellular enabled communication device may detect when it is within cellular communication range of a femtocell. Upon detection of the femtocell, the cellular enabled communication device may communicate instructions to a content source instructing the content source to deliver multimedia content to the femtocell. In instances that multimedia content is already being delivered to the cellular enabled communication device prior to the detection, the instructions from the cellular enabled communication device may instruct the content source to redirect the multimedia content to the femtocell. In this regard, the multimedia content may be delivered from the content source to the cellular enabled communication device via the femtocell. The femtocell may deliver at least a portion of the multimedia content to other communication devices.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于通过与集成的毫微微蜂窝基站和机顶盒（IFSTB）设备的蜂窝通信来控制数据分配的方法和系统的方面。 在这方面，支持蜂窝的通信设备可以检测何时它在毫微微小区的蜂窝通信范围内。 在检测到毫微微小区时，支持蜂窝的通信设备可以向指示内容源的内容源传送指令以将多媒体内容传送到毫微微小区。 在多媒体内容已经在检测之前已经被传送到支持蜂窝的通信设备的情况下，来自支持蜂窝的通信设备的指令可以指示内容源将多媒体内容重定向到毫微微小区。 在这方面，多媒体内容可以经由毫微微小区从内容源传送到支持蜂窝的通信设备。 毫微微小区可将至少一部分多媒体内容传送到其他通信设备。
