Abstract
A wireless communication network comprising a plurality of base stations capable of wireless communication with a plurality of subscriber stations within a coverage area of the network, wherein at least one of the plurality of base stations is capable of transmitting an edge-zone indicator which indicates the proximity of the at least one base station to an edge of an enhanced multicast broadcast system (E-MBS) zone.
Claims26
A wireless communication network comprising a plurality of base stations capable of wireless communication with a plurality of subscriber stations within a coverage area of the network, wherein at least one of the plurality of base stations is capable of:
- transmitting an edge-zone indicator which indicates the proximity of the at least one base station to an edge of an enhanced multicast broadcast system (E-MBS) zone.
A base station capable of wireless communication with a plurality of subscriber stations within a coverage area of a network, where the base station is capable of:
- transmitting an edge-zone indicator which indicates the proximity of the at least one base station to an edge of an enhanced multicast broadcast system (E-MBS) zone.
A method of operating a base station comprising:
- transmitting an edge-zone indicator which indicates the proximity of the at least one base station to an edge of an enhanced multicast broadcast system (E-MBS) zone.
A mobile station capable of:
- receiving an edge-zone indicator;
- and
- determining the proximity of the mobile station to an edge of an enhanced multicast broadcast system (E-MBS) zone based upon a value of the edge-zone indicator.
