Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention is a method and system for station location based neighbor determination and handover probability estimation. A serving access point determines the location and movement measurements of a station (STA). Neighboring access points report coordinates of cell fringes of the neighboring access points. The STA sends a request for system information to the current access point along with current location of the STA. The current access point provides the system information, and the STA utilizes the system information to determine best handover candidate from among neighboring access points and an estimate of the time for handover.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) configured to perform a handover, the WTRU comprising: a receiver configured to receive from a current Node-B a weighting factor that is associated with a speed of the WTRU; and a processor configured to: rank a plurality of neighbor Node-Bs against the current Node-B, in order of probability of a successful handover, based on a measured signal quality of each the plurality of neighbor Node-Bs, and the weighting fa…
