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.

A method and apparatus for performing the method are provided. The method includes operating a mobile device in a first network while a timer of the mobile device is running to prevent the mobile device from scanning for a second network. The method also includes determining a distance that the mobile device is from a reference location, where the reference location is associated with where the mobile device is prevented from scanning for the second network. The method further includes adjusting the timer when the determined distance from the reference signal exceeds a threshold. When the determined distance exceeds the determined distance, the mobile device can scan for the second network.

A radio transceiver (119) including a transmitter (111), a receiver (107), and a controller (113). The controller (113) creates a fixed period reference signal (201) and a second reference signal (203) which has a variable delay in time from the fixed period reference signal (201). In addition the controller (113) creates a plurality of control signals used to control parts of the transceiver (119) and which are time dependant upon the second reference signal 203). Therefore, the adjusting of the variable delay of the second signal subsequently adjusts the plurality of control signals.

A method and apparatus for obtaining overhead information by a mobile is provided herein. During operation, the mobile will be communicating with a first system on an active data channel. The mobile node will be able to measure pilot PN phase and amplitude for a second system that is a potential candidate to handoff and will have that information available. The data channel of the active service is used to query a proxy server that provides overhead information for the second base station. More particularly, when PN phase and amplitude information is provided to the proxy server, the proxy server will identify the base station and provide the overhead information needed to associate with the second base station.

A plurality of base stations (600) are programmed (702) with a uniform power-control bit pattern to be sent to a mobile unit during a plurality of power-control bit times, before the mobile unit is acquired on a reverse link. The plurality of base stations are further arranged and programmed to synchronize (704) transmissions of the uniform power-control bit pattern such that the plurality of base stations, when transmitting, send identical power-control bits during each of the plurality of power-control bit times.

An embodiment generally relates to a method of maximizing network efficiency. The method includes determining a state of a connect attempt from a network and re-transmitting a connect attempt response message to the network in response to the network's connect attempt being in a pending state after an attempt to setup a connection to the network fails.

Channel assignment is performed by utilizing a base station controller (BSC) or a base station depending upon a mobile unit's RF environment and/or the type of call being made. By performing call setup in this manner, mobiles that access with no soft handoff requirement (approximately 50% of mobile in IS-2000 systems) will have faster setup times.
摘要:
Speech of an unknown amount and control message data (150) of known amount are multiplexed so that the coded voice data is transmitted before the elapse of a predetermined number of frames. A variable rate vocoder (110) receives and codes the speech of an unknown amount at one of full and less than full rates to produce the coded voice data. A multiplexer (120) receives the coded voice data from the variable rate vocoder (110) and sends frames containing the coded voice data when the variable rate vocoder operates at a full rate. When the variable rate vocoder (110) operates at a less than full rate, the multiplexer (120) sends frames containing portions of the message data together with the coded voice data. However, when the number of frames remaining before a predetermined number of flames has been sent is the minimum number of frames necessary to send remaining of the control message data (150) together with the coded voice data at less than full rate, the variable rate vocoder (110) is forced to a voice coding rate lower than full rate. The lower than full rate voice coding of the variable rate vocoder (110) reduces the amount of coded voice data to send in a frame and makes space in the frame to send remaining of the control message data (150) together with the coded voice data.
