20120276945 | CELL SELECTION TECHNIQUES FOR IDLE MODE FOR WIRELESS NETWORKS - Various example embodiments are disclosed herein. According to an example embodiment, an apparatus may include a processor. The processor may be configured to: make a first determination, by a mobile station in idle mode, that a trigger condition for cell selection has been met for a target base station as compared to a current preferred base station; compare a network specified cell preference of the target base station to a network specified cell preference of the current preferred base station; select the target base station as a new preferred base station if the cell preference of the target base station is the same or lower than the cell preference of the current preferred base station; otherwise, if the cell preference of the target base station is higher than the cell preference of the current preferred base station, then selecting the target base station as a new preferred base station only if the trigger condition for cell selection for the target base station is still met after a delay period after the first determination has been made. | 11-01-2012 |

20090274118 | METHOD FOR PREVENTING PIN-PONG HANDOVER EFFECT IN MOBILE WIMAX NETWORKS - To prevent a handover ping-pong effect between base-station in WiMAX-compliant networks, a priority level is firstly assigned to the trigger causes for handover, and the prioritized causes are coded. Then codes are subdivided into a first class of unrestricted handovers and a second class of handover subjected to restriction. The first class includes the highest priority handovers. The second class includes a given subset of handovers with a high or normal priority intended for optimizing resources. Outside this subset the second class also includes handovers for power budget having a normal priority level. When an outgoing handover is decided, the actual serving BS either permits or selectively suppresses the Handover Request to the target BS when the latter is corresponding to the preceding serving BS for that mobile. The selection mechanism operates on the second class of restricted handovers, during a penalty time triggered by the occurrence of handover causes included in the given subset of the second class. | 11-05-2009 |
20110206006 | SIGNALING EXCHANGE FOR HANDOVER CONTROL FOR WIRELESS NETWORKS - Various example embodiments are disclosed herein. According to an example embodiment, a technique may include transmitting, from a mobile station to a base station in a wireless network, a message (e.g., a subscriber station basic capability (SBC) request message) indicating whether or not the mobile station supports base station-controlled handover for the mobile station. The technique may also include receiving, by the mobile station from the base station, a message (e.g., a subscriber station basic capability (SBC) response message) indicating whether or not the base station supports base-station controlled handover. | 08-25-2011 |

20100080180 | RADIO RESOURCE ALLOCATON INFORMATION EXCHANGE BETWEEN BASESTATIONS - A method for improving distributed resource allocation in OFDMA based wireless communication networks such as WiMAX IEEE 802.16 for either fixed or mobile subscriber stations SSs is executed by neighbor Base Stations BSs serving the SSs. Each BS controls the allocation of respective permutation zones and radio resources encompassing different radio subchannels within each permutation zone. In this task the BS avails of RRM primitives and instances of a NCMS functionality promoting direct BS-to-BS communication, which can be exploited in a distributed RRM profile. A BS playing the role of RRC sends to Neighbor BSs a unique RRM Request for receiving event-driven Spare Capacity Reports. Among driving events, “Change of Radio Resources Allocation” is included. Neighbor BSs, at every allocation change is detected, send to the requester BS a Spare Capacity Report including a Bitmap indicating subchannels used for transmission in each Permutation Zone. In order to eliminate Co-Channel Interference CCI, the requester BS avoids using same subchannels already indicated in the received Bitmap. | 04-01-2010 |
