Abstract

Les modes et formes de réalisation de l'invention concernent un procédé, un système et une femtopasserelle destinés à mettre en œuvre une communication entre un réseau à femtocellules et un macroréseau. Le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes: remplacer l'adresse IP source d'un message/de données provenant d'un FAP par l'adresse IP d'un FGW, et envoyer le message/les données au FAP; et/ou remplacer l'adresse IP de destination d'un message/de données provenant du macroréseau par une adresse IP d'un FAP, et envoyer le message/les données au FAP. Grâce à l'invention, l'adresse IP source d'un message/de données envoyés par un FAP est convertie en l'adresse IP du FGW auquel accède le FAP, et l'adresse FAP de destination d'un message/de données envoyés à partir d'un macroréseau est convertie en l'adresse IP du FAP correspondant, afin de permettre une communication entre le FAP et le macroréseau sans qu'il soit nécessaire de changer la configuration du macroréseau en raison de l'intégration d'une pluralité de FAP, et de réduire les coûts de maintenance.
