Abstract:
A wireless communication system (100) includes a plurality of base station controllers (BSCs) (114, 116) logically sharing a plurality of base transceiver stations (BTSs) (124, 126) and which may physically share antenna and related transceiver equipment. The system (100) is configured to enhance system capacity while reducing the occurrence of seams (28) between service areas in the system (100).

Abstract:
Several base station controllers (114,116) within the control of a mobile service centre (112) share access to base station antennas (124,126) that are sufficiently close together that large parts of their zones of coverage (118,120,122) overlap. Control of the system is configured so that mobile stations (30) can use the whole area without having to switch between antennas.

Abstract:
The invention provides for path optimization for routing of a communication session in a network having a plurality of core networks (110) coupled to a plurality of access networks (120). Both a core network and an access network perform the path optimization by determining a plurality of possible paths to a plurality of target access points to form a target matrix, determining a corresponding route preference factor for each possible path of the target matrix, and selecting, from the target matrix, a possible path having an optimal route preference factor. An overall or complete path, for routing of the communication session, is then determined either by combining the selected possible paths, or by selecting one possible path as a complete path. The route preference factor, for each possible path, is determined based upon various routing variables, such as quality of service, bandwidth for the communication session, route complexity, interconnect cost, routing cost; resource loading, resource availability, and operator preference for traffic biasing.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for maintaining service interoperability in a communications network during software replacement in a component of the communications network having a cluster of devices 30-36. The method and apparatus generally involve the use of a name service 96-102 in the devices to control the binding of client applications requesting logically de-centralized services to corresponding local services on the devices operating under the same software version. The name services utilize a database or registry of information relating to the logically de-centralized local services and logically centralized global services to determine the appropriate local or global service to which to bind the requesting client application. The database or registry may include information indicating the software release under which a local service is operating for use in binding the requesting client application to the appropriate local service.
Abstract:
A communication system and a method of communicating data. A first backhaul site (120) can be dynamically selected from a plurality of backhaul sites that are each configured to wirelessly communicate with an access point (115). A controller (225, 315) can dynamically configure a transmission parameter used to communicate a first backhaul data stream (155, 455) between the access point and the first backhaul site. The first backhaul data stream can be derived from a source data stream (150, 450) and can be wirelessly communicated between the access point and the first backhaul site. A second backhaul site (125) also can be selected. A second backhaul data stream (160, 460) also can be derived from the source data stream and wirelessly communicated between the access point and the second backhaul site. The first and second backhaul data streams can be combined.
