Abstract:
In mobile radio system supporting soft handover several cells that supports a dedicated radio channel with a mobile station are called the Active Set (AS). The mobile station measures the radio link quality of a set of cells called Monitored Set (Mos) and that are candidates for being included in the Active Set. If many cells are included in the Monitored Set the time to make a good measure of all cells will be long, and the time to perform handover will increase. However, the right cell need be is included in the Monitored Set to become included the Active Set. According to the present invention cells that have good radio properties in the mobile location area (ELA2) are selected for the Monitored Set and because this area is more restricted than the whole service area of the cells in the Active Set, a low number of cells need be included.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for minimizing interference in a wireless communication system. A base transceiver station transmits and receives over a first frequency band and a second frequency band. The maximum range of the first frequency band can be smaller than the maximum range of the second frequency band. Alternatively, the maximum range of the first frequency band can be larger than the maximum range of the second frequency band. Further, the maximum range of the second frequency band can vary based upon factors such as the capacity of the first frequency band and the amount of interference on the first frequency band. A control channel for the second frequency band which is measured for determining whether to handoff from the first frequency band to the second frequency band can be transmitted within the first frequency band.
Abstract:
Se describe un método y un sistema para controlar los traspasos del servicio en los sistemas de radiocomunicaciones utilizando un concepto de zona flexible. El traspaso del servicio Flexible se permite entre los miembros de una zona flexible particular, pero no entre los miembros de diferentes zonas flexibles. El traspaso del servicio rígido se permite entre los miembro de diferentes zonas flexibles, pero no entre los miembros de la misma zona flexible.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to cellular mobile radio systems, and more especially it relates to Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA, cellular mobile radio systems, particularly to transmission power control in such systems. A method and apparatus transmitting TPC bits with inherent out-of-sync information and transmission power differential determined on the basis of soft handover status information and out-of-sync status information is disclosed. An associated method and apparatus receiving the TPC bits and controlling transmission power accordingly is presented.
Abstract:
Devices, systems and methods for estimating inter-frequency measurements use d for radio network functions are disclosed. The systems and methods described allow systems to evaluate the quality of a second frequency by using offset adjusted measurements on a first frequency. By using the described methods, system capacity is increased by providing a "low cost" measurement mechanism for support of handover that substantially balance the load between two or more frequency bands. By using the proposed method, handover can be performe d more frequently and the interference within each frequency band can therefor e be kept at a more optimal level.
