Abstract:
In a communication system a method for selecting a set of preferences for use during transmission of information to a particular destination anticipates selecting a list of one or more destinations (502), each destination having a key and a set of preferences, each preference further having a value. A historical database is indexed via (504 and 508) the key to retrieve a set of database entries, each entry having a set of preferences, each preference further having a value. The retrieved database entries are filtered (506 and 512) in order to identify those entries exhibiting a predefined set of criteria. After filtering (518), the preference values (514 and 516) within the identified database entries are applied during transmission and subsequent processing of the information (520).
Abstract:
An orphan condition is mitigated in a spread-spectrum communication system by determining when a remote unit (113) is likely to become an orphan (315) and adjusting remote unit (113) operating parameters (360) to force additional base stations (101, 102) to be added to the remote unit's (113) active set. In particular, when it is determined that a remote unit (113) is likely to become an orphan, T_ADD and T_COMP are adjusted so that the remote unit (113) is forced to add additional base stations (101, 102) to its active set. Increasing the number of base stations (101, 102) that a remote unit (113) is communicating with greatly reduces the probability that the remote unit (113) will become an orphan.
