  • Method for optimizing a number of communication links
    Patent number: 6535738
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for improving system capacity without compromising soft handoff by optimizing the number of communication links used in soft handoff. The number of communication links used in soft handoff are optimized by minimizing the number of base stations in the active sets based on signal characteristics of associated communication links. By minimizing the number of base stations in the active sets, the number of traffic channels reserved for soft handoffs may be reduced since less traffic channels would be needed for soft handoffs, thereby increasing system capacity by increasing the number of available traffic channels for assignment to mobile-telephones in non-soft handoff situations.
