Method and apparatus for media access control-based fast cell switching for high-speed packet access
Patent number: 9100890Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for facilitating switching HSPA (high speed packet access) serving cells from each of an RNC (radio network controller), base station, and access terminal are provided. The RNC pre-configures an access terminal and each base station in an active set for HS-DSCH operation by providing identification codes identifying each of the base stations. The RNC transmits data packets tagged with sequence numbers to each base station where they are synchronously buffered. The access terminal initiates a handover by transmitting a PDU (protocol data unit) to each of the base stations. The PDU is encoded with the identification code of a target base station and a sequence number of a subsequent packet. The target receives the PDU and directly completes the handover with the access terminal.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2013Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Etienne F.

Patent number: 8909227Abstract: Techniques for performing handover of a user equipment (UE) in a cell-to-base station manner are described. The UE may receive a handover command to perform handover from a source base station to a target base station. The source base station may send context information for the UE to the target base station, and the context information may be available to all cells of the target base station. The UE may attempt handover from a serving cell of the source base station to a first cell of the target base station. The UE may attempt handover to a second cell of the target base station if the handover to the first cell fails. The UE may (i) receive the first and second cells from the source base station or (ii) receive only the first cell from the source base station and determine the second cell based on broadcast system information.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2007Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Masato Kitazoe, Oronzo Flore

Patent number: 8676223Abstract: System(s) and method(s) are provided for inter-cell interference management in a wireless communication system. A base station perform interference management by conveying and receiving load indicator messages over a backhaul communication link to disparate neighboring base stations that serve interfering mobile stations. Reporting of load indicators takes place according to a reporting policy that is event-based, and accounts for variations of interference metrics over available time-frequency resources. Communication with neighboring base stations is limited to a monitoring interference set, which can be determined statically, according to deployment characteristics of a wireless network, or the set can be adjusted dynamically according to a set of received UL signals or a set of DL CQI measurement reports. Reporting policy and interference set can be autonomously adapted to optimize backhaul traffic as well as interference control.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2008Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Juan Montojo, Aleksandar Damnjanovic, Durga Prasad Malladi, Oronzo Flore
