INVOLVING TRAFFIC-TO-PILOT RATIO IN MEASUREMENT REPORTS AND IN LAYER-1 PROCEDURES FOR IMPROVED CALL PERFORMANCE

摘要

Methods and apparatuses for wireless communication and cell monitoring and handover using a downlink dedicated physical channel (DL-DPCH) traffic-to-pilot ratio (TPR) are presented. For example, a method of mobile communication at a user equipment (UE) is presented, which may include starting a time-to-trigger (TTT) interval associated with a neighbor cell in preparation for potential handover of the UE to the neighbor cell according to network-assigned parameters. In addition, the example method may include monitoring a TPR associated with a DL-DPCH of a serving cell of the UE. Furthermore, the example method may include determining that the TPR exceeds a TPR threshold and shortening the TTT interval upon that determination. Moreover, the example method may include transmitting, based on the shortened TTT interval, a Measurement Report Message (MRM) to a network to add the neighbor cell to an active set associated with the UE.

1. A method of mobile communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
starting a time-to-trigger (TTT) interval associated with a neighbor cell in preparation for potential handover of the UE to the neighbor cell according to network-assigned parameters; monitoring a traffic-to-pilot ratio (TPR) associated with a downlink dedicated physical channel of a serving cell of the UE; determining that the TPR exceeds a TPR threshold; shortening the TTT interval upon a determination that the TPR exceeds the TPR threshold; and transmitting, based on the shortened TTT interval, a Measurement Report Message (MRM) to a network to add the neighbor cell to an active set associated with the UE.
