  • Patent number: 6917809
    Abstract: A method of automatically prioritizing cells in a neighbor list of a communications system. The priority is defined as the number of times a cell in the neighbor list has been added to the active set. Cells that have been added to the active set more often are given a higher priority. Such higher priority cells are considered first for addition to the monitored set because they are more likely to successfully move from the monitored set to the active set.

  • Publication number: 20010055971
    Abstract: A method for Radio Network Controller (RNC) initiated Radio Access Bearer (RAB) negotiation or renegotiation/reconfiguration in a communication system that includes a core network and user equipment coupled to an RNC in a Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network. When the core network establishes a service (e.g. voice call, web surfing session) with the user equipment, a RAB is set up for that service. The RAB includes certain parameters that effect the quality of the service. As the RNC monitors radio conditions, it may determine that one or more of the RAB parameters need to be modified. The RNC will initiate a RAB renegotiation/reconfiguration procedure by sending a RAB Modification Request Message to the CN specifying that a modification to the RAB is needed and the manner is which the modification should be affected. The CN may send a RAB Assignment Request Message informing the RNC whether the modification is acceptable.
