发明名称 METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR VIRTUAL SOFT HANDOFF
摘要 In some embodiments, a non-transitory processor-readable medium includes code to cause a processor to receive at a tunnel server, a data unit addressed to a communication device, and define, a first instance of the data unit and a second instance of the data unit. The first instance of the data unit is sent to the communication device via a first tunnel defined between at least the tunnel server and a first base station associated with a first network. The second instance of the data unit is sent to the communication device via a second tunnel defined between at least the tunnel server and a second base station associated with a second network. The second instance of the data unit is dropped by the communication device when the first instance of the data unit is received before the second instance of the data unit.

主权项 1. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to: receive, at a tunnel server, a data unit addressed to a communication device; define, based on the data unit, a first instance of the data unit and a second instance of the data unit; send, at a first time, the first instance of the data unit to a first base station via a first tunnel defined between the tunnel server and the first base station such that the first base station can remove a tunnel header associated with the first tunnel from the first instance of the data unit, the first base station being associated with a first network and operatively coupled to the communication device; send, at a second time after the first time, the first instance of the data unit to the communication device; and send the second instance of the data unit to the communication device via a second tunnel defined between at least the tunnel server and a second base station associated with a second network different from the first network and operatively coupled to the communication device such that the communication device drops the second instance of the data unit when the first instance of the data unit is received by the communication device prior to the second instance of the data unit.
