  • Patent number: 8862130
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method for handover based on a radio resource allocation database. The method includes that the radio resource allocation database is constructed and dynamically maintained; after receiving a handover request from a User Equipment (UE), a Base Station (BS) determines in the database a Radio Access Technology (RAT) and the corresponding carrier frequency resources suitable for a current communication condition of the UE for the UE according to a handover reason in the handover request, and notifies the UE of information regarding the determined RAT and information regarding the corresponding carrier frequency resource; and the UE performs QoS verification on the RAT and the corresponding carrier frequency resources notified by the BS, and switches to the corresponding carrier frequency with the RAT notified by the BS when the QoS on the RAT and the corresponding carrier frequency resources is superior to that of current communication.

  • Publication number: 20140099984
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for scheduling users in coordinated scheduling, which is applied in a long term evaluation-advanced system, a coordinated cell determines and stores user pairing information in initial scheduling, and the coordinated cell uses the user pairing information that has been stored to determine a scheduled user in subsequent iterative scheduling. The present invention also discloses a corresponding base station. With the scheduling schemes in the present invention, in intra-cell scheduling, user pairing information is stored in an initial scheduling process and is used in subsequent iterative scheduling without performing multiple user pairing search in the iterative scheduling, which reduces the computation amount in the iterative scheduling and system resources occupied by the iterative scheduling and accelerates the system processing time in a premise of not reducing the system performance, thereby making the performance in the whole domain trend to the optimal.
