    摘要: A method for supporting rescue channels in a communications system. The rescue channel feature supports the use of pre-allocated radio resources at neighboring BSs 104, 106 in order to attempt to recover a voice call in danger of being dropped. The MS 114 disables its transmitter upon detection of a loss of forward frames from the network. Once the source BS 102 detects a loss of transmission from the MS 114, it may attempt to re-establish communication with the MS 114 by performing soft handoff additions to rescue cells at neighboring BSs. The neighboring BSs are the MS's neighbor list, last reported Extended Pilot Strength Measurement Message (EPSMM), and possibly other factors.

    摘要: Remote units within a first communication system (121) utilizes frequencies (channels) from a second communication system (120) when placing a call. When a first remote unit (106) wants to call a second remote unit (107) using the channels, the first remote unit sends a base station (103) a list of top N traffic channel blocks from the second communication system along with the identity of the second remote unit. The base station then pages the second remote unit using a signaling channel reserved by second system. The second remote unit responds to the page with its list of best traffic channel blocks/chunks. The base station then picks the best overlap of idle channels from the list received by the remote units, and sends the list to the remote units instructing them use those traffic channels. Once the remote units receive the available channels, they can begin their call.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for passing network device operations between a source and a target network device which are associated with a mobile communication unit in a radio communication system is provided. This passing of network device operations is accomplished by converting a first form of information to a second form in the source network device. Subsequently, the source and the target network device are notified that operations associated with the mobile communication unit will be passed at a particular time. At that particular time the information converting is bypassed such that the first form of information is provided to the target network device. In addition, the target network device begins to monitor incoming information for the first form of incoming information. In response to a presence of the first form of incoming information at the target network device, the first form of information is converted into the second form in the target network device.

    摘要: A radiotelephone service planning system (10) and method determines best servers in communication systems by determining a interference based communication threshold using interference information (46), such as frame error rate data, in addition to pathloss information (38) between a communication unit (22) and the plurality of other communication units (24a-24c). The radiotelephone service planning system (10) and method generates an image indicating the most probable best server of the other communication units (24a-24c) for the communication unit (22) based on the interference based communication threshold information. Also, the system utilizes variable signal threshold data (32) for a communication unit to allow flexibility in determining a best server site in view of varying threshold limits. If desired, the system can also accommodate three-dimensional best server planning by taking into account elevational variations and their effects from the perspective of both the mobile communication unit and the other communication unit.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for determining whether to handoff in a wireless communication system (100). The system (100) collects first environmental variables related to a first mobile station (105) within the wireless communication system (100). The system (100) determines when a communication between a base station (101) and the first mobile station (105) is improperly terminated. The system (100) analyzes, when the communication is improperly terminated, the first environmental variables to generate environmental conditions rules. The system (100) then applies the environmental conditions rules to a second mobile station (106) which subsequently communicates with the base station (101) and which has second environment variables substantially similar to the first environmental variables.

    摘要: A method of maintaining call quality in a communication system by communicating between a base site (101) and a communication unit (113) on a first channel. The communication unit (113) monitors the downlink communication signal (116) transmitted by the base site (101) and determines a characteristic of the first channel. The communication unit (113) is then handed off to a second channel having a less aggressive reuse pattern, based on the characteristic of the first channel.

    摘要: A method of reducing an audio gap in a signal connection with a communication unit during handoff in a cellular communication system is provided. The method includes the steps of providing a temporary signal connection with the communication unit from a mobile switching center (MSC) of a source base site, through the source base site to a handoff target base site and establishing a trunk connection from the MSC of the source base site to a MSC of the target base site. The method further includes the step of interconnecting, at the target base site, the temporary signal connection, trunk connection, and communication unit; and re-routing the signal connection with the communication unit through the trunk connection.
