Method and Device for Adjusting the Channel Change Limit of a Channel Forward to the Channel Change Limit of a Channel Backward in a Mobile Communication System

摘要

A method and apparatus for matching the location of the forward link handoff boundary to the reverse link handoff boundary. A system constant is chosen which defines the product of the received power and the transmitted pilot power at every base station. The reverse link power level is measured at the base station and the forward link power level is compensated for the reverse link loading to maintain the constant product. Thereby the forward link handoff boundary to the reverse link handoff boundary are aligned to the same location.
