US 6,856,805 B1 · Apparatus and method for optimizing adjacent-channel measuring reports

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a system for transmitting data packets between a mobile station and a current base station of a mobile radio system. The mobile station repeatedly transmits measurement reports each containing measurement data relating to a number of adjacent base stations to the current base station. A later measurement report contains reference data for at least one adjacent base station whose measurement data have already been received from the current base station in an earlier measurement report and stored, the reference information referring to the measurement data of the respective earlier measurement report. As a result, measurement data relating to a relatively large number of adjacent base stations can be transmitted in the measurement reports or the transmission bandwidth can be reduced.

Dependent claims

A method for transmitting data packets between a mobile station and a current base station of a mobile radio system, the method comprising the steps of:

repeatedly transmitting a plurality of measurement reports from the mobile station to the current base station, each of the plurality of measurement reports containing measurement data relating to a number of adjacent base stations;
and
storing each of the plurality of measurement reports in at least one of the mobile station and current base station;
wherein a later measurement report contains reference information for at least one adjacent base station whose measurement data has already been received by the current base station in an earlier measurement report and stored by the current base station, the reference information referring to an identification of the measurement data of the respective earlier measurement report.

1 more element

An apparatus for transmitting data packets between a mobile station and a current base station of a mobile radio system, comprising:

a mobile station having a first transmitter device;
and
a current base station having a first receiver device and a first storage device;
wherein the first transmitter device in the mobile station is configured to repeatedly transmit measurement reports to the first receiver device in the current base station, each measurement report containing measurement data relating to a number of adjacent base stations being provided in the mobile station;
and
a later measurement report contains reference information for at least one adjacent base station whose measurement data have already been received by the first receiver device of the current base station in an earlier measurement report and stored in the first storage device of the current base station, the reference information referring to an identification of the measurement data of the respective earlier measurement report.
