Abstract: A method and apparatus for handing off packet-transmission between sectors of a wireless communication system is disclosed herein. During transmission of a packet from an access network to an access terminal, the access terminal determines that the packet should theoretically be transmitted to the access terminal in fewer timeslots in another sector than the number of allowed timeslots remaining for the packet transmission in a current sector. In response, the access terminal abandons packet transmission in the current sector and hands off to the other sector, in an effort to increase throughput and save air interface resources.

Abstract: Described embodiments can help a user equipment (UE) participate in a handover procedure that is carried out by the UE's serving base station. In particular, when a neighbor sector is heavily loaded, the base station that serves the neighbor sector may vary the power in at least one reference signal in each subframe in the neighbor sector, thereby providing an indication of the heavy traffic load to UEs that receive the subframe. When a UE is being served by a different base station than the base station that serves the neighbor sector, and the UE detects such load information for a neighbor sector, the UE may report the load information to its serving base station, or may simply refrain from sending a signal strength report that could trigger a handover to the neighbor sector.

Abstract: Coordinated multipoint (CoMP) may involve coordination between multiple sectors to receive and/or process a given user equipment's uplink signal. Embodiments herein may help to intelligently select the particular sectors that should coordinate to provide uplink CoMP, based on the types of applications being served in sectors that are candidates to provide uplink CoMP. For example, a base station serving a primary sector in an CoMP group that includes two or more candidates from which to select a secondary sector sectors for uplink CoMP, may evaluate the application being served by traffic flows in these candidates, in an effort to select secondary sectors having lower-priority traffic flows.
