<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid the shortcomings associated with pilot pollution, traffic capacity loss, neighbor list resource exhaustion and PN offset or scrambling code assignment in the case that any number of microcells such as in-building microcells are included within a macrocell service area. <P>SOLUTION: Handoffs within a wireless communication system include using a common cell definition code for each of a plurality of microcell BTSs to facilitate handoffs between a macrocell and any one of the microcells. A common cell definition code such as a PN offset or a scrambling code or the like is used to trigger a handoff from the macrocell to any one of the microcell BTSs. A mobile station location feature identifies which of the BTSs is involved in the handoff. Another common cell definition code is used in one example to trigger all handoffs from any one of the microcells to the macrocell. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
