摘要:
Communication resources are allocated within a radio communication system in anticipation of expected resource requirements using predictions based on information supplied by a subscriber unit. In one embodiment, the system uses the subscriber unit's location history to predict a future location (510, 520, 530). In another embodiment, the system uses radio capability information, along with environment information for the subscriber unit, to predict loading conditions for potential hand-over sites (610, 620, 630), and assigns the subscriber unit to one of the potential hand-over sites based on the predicted loading conditions (640).
摘要:
A mobile station (102) contains a local personality database (110) in a memory (306) of the mobile station. The local personality database contains information records (400), at least one of which has a variable personality parameter, such as a directory number (404). The directory number may change with either the time of day, geographic location, or both. At the appropriate time, the mobile station transmits a request to a central office (106) to receive an update of the directory number. The central office searches a parameter database (112) to find the most recent directory number, and returns it to the mobile station, which stores it for use at a later time. The system can also update scan and channel lists in the same manner.
