The base station includes a communication portion that notifies a terminal which is communicating of offset values, each of which is applied to a reception quality regarding each cell of the first base station and the second station in a determination on whether to trigger an event regarding a handover operation, and which is a corrected offset value based on a ratio of ABS relative to entire subframes in the first base station. | 2015-06-25 |
20150181497 | NETWORK RESELECTION BY A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE BASED ON SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO - A method for network reselection by a wireless communication device is provided. The wireless communication device can have an established connection to a first network. The method can include measuring a signal strength and a signal-to-noise ratio of the first network. The method can further include determining that the signal strength satisfies a signal strength threshold. The method can additionally include comparing the signal-to-noise ratio to a signal-to-noise ratio threshold. The method can also include disconnecting from the first network and reselecting to a second network in an instance in which the signal-to-noise ratio does not satisfy the signal-to-noise ratio threshold even though the signal strength satisfies the signal strength threshold. | 2015-06-25 |
