    摘要: When performing a soft-handoff, a communication system determines whether to engage in an analysis of a reverse link associated with a base station under consideration to be added to an active set of a mobile station (MS). Upon determining not to analyze the reverse link, the communication system adds the base station to the active set without evaluating the associated reverse link. Upon determining to engage in a reverse link analysis, the communication system evaluates the reverse link in order to assure that a communication link is not terminated, or dropped, as part of the soft-handoff until such time as the communication system may confirm that an acceptable quality reverse link is being added. The communication system then determines whether to add the base station to the active set based upon the evaluation.

    摘要: A mobile station typically determines whether to drop a communication link and/or a base transceiver station (BTS) based on a performance of an associated forward link. In order to avoid dropping a communication link that has a weak forward link but a strong reverse link, a communication system is provided that determines whether the reverse link is still good before determining to drop the communication link. In one embodiment, the communication system determines whether reverse link is still good based on a quality metric associated with the reverse link and quality metric(s) associated with one or more other reverse links that are in a soft-handoff mode with reverse link. In another embodiment, the communication system determines whether reverse link is still good by comparing a quality metric associated with the reverse link to a threshold.

    摘要: This method (110) adaptively sends control messages and a predetermined number of fast repeats of the control messages on the traffic channel of a mobile communication system. For a control message which has already been lost (118), the system sends the control message again with a first number of fast repeats (130) if the traffic channel is operating at a full rate; and the system sends the control message with a second number of fast repeats if the traffic channel is operating at a subrate. The number of fast repeats is selectable. If the control message has not been previously sent and the traffic channel is operating at a subrate (124), the system will send the control message with a third number of fast repeats (128).

The communication network comprises at least one mobile device (106) and a base station controller (102). A Data Rate Control (DRC) cover value of a first mobile device (106) is set for a first sector. The method includes comparing a number of active users of the first sector with a threshold bandwidth when a DRC of the first sector is in lock for the first mobile device. Further, a second sector with available bandwidth and a DRC in lock for the first mobile device (106) is searched, when the number of active users of the first sector is greater than the threshold bandwidth. Furthermore, the first mobile device (106) is removed from the first sector and redirected to the second sector when the second sector exists.

    摘要: An RF power fairness method (26) receives a request for supplemental channel resources (160). If sufficient supplemental channel resources (time slots and data rates) are not available, the original request is modified (166). If there is multiple call activity on the supplemental channel, RF power is calculated for each of the simultaneous calls on the shared channel (202, 208). If successful time slots and data rates are found, a grant message is returned from the time slot manager (26) to the base station (164, 170, 180). If insufficient time slots and data rate power are determined, a deny request message is transmitted to the base station (184).
