A MANIFOLD NETWORK WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Embodiments of the claimed subject matter provide a manifold network for a wireless communication system. One embodiment of the wireless communication system includes a plurality of base stations and one or more radio network controllers communicatively coupled to the base stations. The base stations can be configured to provide wireless connectivity within a geographic area such that user equipment in the geographic area maintain a substantially continuous call connection with at least two of the plurality of base stations. The radio network controller can be configured to select an active set of base stations from the plurality of base stations for the user equipment. The radio network controller can also be configured to select a configurable number of the plurality of base stations from the active set to maintain the substantially continuous call connection with the user equipment. The configurable number is at least two.
