  • Patent number: 5884175
    Abstract: A method is provided of following a communication transaction during which a communicating mobile station (12) is handed-over from one radio cell to another in a mobile radio system. The transaction is followed across the handover by monitoring signaling messages on the signaling paths in the mobile radio system to detect the occurrence of common parameters related to communication transactions subject to handover. By correlating these parameters it is possible to associate fragments of the same transaction that give rise to signaling messages on different signaling paths. Thus in the case of a GSM mobile radio system with monitoring of the A interfaces, the parts of a communication transaction split by a handover from one BSC (17A) to another (17Z), can be associated by correlating the RR3 Handover Command signaling units appearing on the signaling links (68,69) to the old and new BSCs (17A,17Z).

  • Patent number: 5815812
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system for soft handoff, which processes in high speed. A system according to the present invention substantially realizes a multiplication by a circuit for classifying received signals from a plurality of cell site stations once held in an analog sampling and holding circuit into two groups, multiplication and accumulation, by a small circuit of low electric power consumption.
