Abstract: Coverage holes are identified and appropriate action taken in response thereto. The identification of a coverage hole may be based on, for example, measurements taken at an access point, measurement report messages from an access terminal, idle user registrations, active user handovers, or handover history. Upon identification of a coverage hole, action may be taken to mitigate (e.g., reduce or eliminate) the coverage hole and/or avoid the coverage hole. For example, in some embodiments, access point resources such as power, frequency and time are allocated accordingly. The action to be taken may depend on whether a coverage hole is noise-limited or interference-limited. In some embodiments, the manner in which handovers are conducted is modified upon identification of a coverage hole. The above actions may be performed entirely at an access point.

Abstract translation: 识别覆盖孔并响应于此而采取适当的动作。 覆盖孔的识别可以基于例如在接入点处进行的测量，来自接入终端的测量报告消息，空闲用户注册，主动用户切换或切换历史。 在识别覆盖孔时，可以采取行动来减轻（例如，减少或消除）覆盖孔和/或避免覆盖孔。 例如，在一些实施例中，相应地分配诸如功率，频率和时间的接入点资源。 要采取的行动可能取决于覆盖孔是否受到噪声限制或受干扰限制。 在一些实施例中，在识别覆盖孔时修改切换切换的方式。 上述动作可以完全在接入点执行。
