Estimating the term…
A neighborhood zone covering an enclosed or surrounded environment, such as a man-made building or high-rise, is defined within a mobile telecommunications network by associating a plurality of base stations with respective cell areas. A same neighborhood list indicating all measurement channels being utilized within the neighborhood zone by said plurality of base stations is then further defined. The defined same neighborhood list is then transmitted by each of the base stations within its respective coverage area. A mobile station traveling within the neighborhood zone then scans and reports measurements from the indicated measurement channels to the serving mobile telecommunications network. The mobile telecommunications network then effectuates a handover in accordance with the received signal measurements. An idle mobile station further utilizes the measurements to effectuate a cell re-selection.
A method for providing a neighborhood list within a neighborhood zone, said neighborhood zone covering a portion of a geographic area within a mobile telecommunications network and comprising a plurality of cell areas, each of said cell areas being served by a base station and associated with a measurement channel for identifying said base station, said method comprising the steps of:
A method for performing handover between a first base station to a second base station within a neighborhood zone covering a portion of a geographic area within a mobile telecommunications network, said neighborhood zone associated with a plurality of base stations, each of said base stations serving an associated cell area and assigned with a measurement channel for identifying its cell area, said method comprising the steps of:
A method for instructing a mobile station traveling within a neighborhood zone of a mobile telecommunications network to measure cell signals, said neighborhood zone covering a portion of a geographic area within a mobile telecommunications network and comprising a plurality of cell areas each being served by a base station and assigned with a measurement channel, said method comprising the steps of:
A method for providing a neighborhood list towards a traveling mobile station within a neighborhood zone covering a portion of a geographic area, said neighborhood zone served by a first mobile telecommunications network including a plurality of first base stations for providing radio service therein and geographic area served by a second mobile telecommunications network including a plurality of second base stations for providing radio service therewith, said first and second base stations each having a measurement channel, said method comprising the steps of:
