Radio network control

摘要

In connection with a radio access network that enables many-to-many communication between radio network controllers and radio nodes through a packet network, techniques for establishing a primary association between a first radio network controller (RNC) and a first radio node (RN), establishing a secondary association between the first RNC and a second RN, the first RN and the second RN being in different subnets, establishing a first traffic channel between a first access terminal and the first RNC when the first access terminal is in an active state in a coverage area of the first RN; and maintaining the first traffic channel between the first access terminal and the first RNC as the first access terminal moves from the coverage area of the first RN to any portion of the coverage area of the second RN while remaining in the active state.
