Abstract
According to one embodiment, a device for selecting a serving base station of a plurality of base stations of a mobile communication system is described which comprises a receiving circuit configured to receive, for each base station of the plurality of base stations, a message including information related to a possible communication between the base station and a mobile terminal and a selecting circuit configured to select, based on the determined information, a base station of the plurality of base stations that is to provide a communication connection for the mobile terminal.
Claims25
A device for selecting a serving base station of a plurality of base stations of a mobile communication system, the device comprising:
- a receiving circuit configured to receive, for each base station of the plurality of base stations, a message including information related to a possible communication between the base station and a mobile terminal;
- and
- a selecting circuit configured to select, based on the information, a base station of the plurality of base stations that is to provide a communication connection for the mobile terminal.
A method for selecting a serving base station of a plurality of base stations of a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, for each base station of the plurality of base stations, a message including information related to a possible communication between the base station and a mobile terminal;
- and
- selecting, based on the information, a base station of the plurality of base stations that is to provide a communication connection for the mobile terminal.
A mobile communication network comprising a plurality of base stations, wherein each base station of the plurality of base stations comprises a receiver, the mobile communication network comprising a synchronization circuit configured to set receivers of all base stations of the plurality of base stations to receive simultaneously a same signal from a mobile terminal;
- and
- each base station comprises a determining circuit configured to determine, from the received signal, a transmission characteristic of a communication between the base station and the mobile terminal
A method for determining transmission characteristics of a mobile communication network comprising a plurality of base stations, wherein each base station of the plurality of base stations comprises a receiver, the method comprising
- setting receivers of all base stations of the plurality of base stations to receive simultaneously a same signal from a mobile terminal;
- and
- each base station determining, from the received signal, a transmission characteristic of a communication between the base station and the mobile terminal.
A base station of a mobile communication network
- comprising a receiver configured to receive a message specifying that the receiver is to be set such that it receives simultaneously a same signal that is received by at least one other base station of the mobile communication network;
- and
- a controller configured to set the receiver to receive the signal.
A mobile terminal comprising
- a determining circuit configured to determine a time interval in which the receivers of a plurality of base stations are set to simultaneously receive a same signal;
- and
- a sending circuit configured to send a signal within the time interval such that it is received by the plurality of base stations.
