    Abstract: A system and method for using energy efficiency network refresh signals for exchanging link partner and device information. Energy savings can be realized through a usage of a energy saving state such as a low power idle (LPI) mode. In one embodiment, refresh signals used during the LPI mode can be used to encode information or state within the refresh signals. In general, such encoded information enables link partners to exchange information that would otherwise need to wait until the link partners have transitioned from an energy saving state back to the active state. In various examples, the messaging during the energy saving state can be used to facilitate synchronization during the energy saving state, transitions from the energy saving state, etc.

    Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for mitigating interference among femtocells via intelligent channel selection are provided. In this regard, signals which may interfere with cellular communications between a femtocell and a cellular communication device may be detected via the femtocell. Based on the detection, the femtocell may be configured to transmit and/or receive signals on one or more frequencies and/or channels. The one or more frequencies and/or channels may be determined in the femtocell and/or in a network management entity. Detecting interfering signals and configuring the one or more femtocells may occur periodically, upon installation of a femtocell, upon power-up of a femtocell, and/or upon command from a network administrator. The results of the detection may be communicated to one or more other femtocells and/or to a network management entity.

The duration of each portion of the time interval and/or the data rate during each portion of the time interval may be adjusted to control the duty cycling. Power consumed in a device connected to the network link may be controlled based on the duty cycling of the link.
