Estimating the term…
The system includes a network having a base controller (30) and a mobile station (32). The base controller (30) has a packet measurement order unit (34) which causes a package measurement reporter (68) in the mobile station to provide a measurement report. This report is stored in a buffer (44) and compared with reference values on a reference unit (48). If a change of cell is warranted, a packet cell change order unit (50) issues a command which is recorded by packet cell change unit (58) of the mobile station to retune the transmitter and receiver (54 and 56) to a new cell. The mobile station also has a unit (64) which generates a package cell change request to the base controller (30) to initiate a package cell change order from the unit (50) when a change is warranted.
A cellular radio communication system for effecting handover of radio transmissions between a mobile station and one cell of a multicell network from said one cell to another cell of the network, the mobile station having a plurality of modes of operation in conjunction with the network, said plurality of modes including a) a mobile station controlled autonomous cell reselection mode with no measurements being reported to the network, b) a mobile station controlled autonomous cell reselection mode with a measurement report being transmitted to the network, c) a network controlled cell reselection mode with a measurement report from the mobile station to the network, and d) a network controlled real time cell selection mode with a measurement report from the mobile station to the network.
A cellular communication handover system for effecting handover of radio transmission between a mobile station and one cell of a multicell network to radio transmission between said mobile station and another cell of the network, the network having handover means for forcing the mobile station to handover to a selected cell, the mobile station including mean talk spurt means for establishing the mean talk spurt in the transmissions to and from the mobile station, activity monitoring means for monitoring a predetermined type of activity of the transmitter and receiver of the mobile station, and delay means operable to delay any handover operation while said activity monitoring means senses activity for a period corresponding to the period of the mean talk spurt.
