Abstract
A communication system (100) that includes base stations (103-109) comprising selection circuitry (207) is provided herein. The determination of a call anchoring base station (base station performing Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) frame selection) is made based on the base station with a lowest mean work load. During communication with a remote unit (113), frames received by non-call anchoring base stations (105, 107) are backhauled to a switch (101). The switch (101) then sidehauls the frames to the call anchoring base station (103), where selection and call processing functions for the particular call takes place.
Claims4
A base station for performing selection within a communication system, the base station comprising:
- a transceiver outputting frames received from a remote unit;
- and
- a switch coupled to the transceiver having the frames as an input and outputting the frames to a selector located within the base station when a statistic is below a threshold.
