PROCESS AND DEVICE FOR MANAGING INTERCELLULAR TRANSFERS OF RADIO COMMUNICATIONS IN A CELLULAR RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The method concerns the management of the communications intercell handover of mobile stations (MS) in a cellular radiocommunication system comprising a definite number of microcells inside the umbrella cells having each respectively a base station (BTS) for routing communications. It consists in locating by radiogoniometry at least two successive virtual positions of the communicating mobile stations (MS) relative to the umbrella cell base station to deduce therefrom a moving speed for each mobile in the time interval which separates the locating of their positions, in comparing respectively the obtained moving speeds with a determined speed value to entrust the management of communications of a mobile station (MS) to the base station (BTS) of the umbrella cell in which it is located when the speed is greater than the determined speed value or to the microcell base station (BTS) in the opposite case.
