COMPUTING AN ACTION TIME FOR ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES TO A MOBILE STATION THAT IS HANDING OVER FROM A SOURCE TO A TARGET BASE STATION

摘要

To perform a handover of a mobile station from a source base station to a target base station, the source base station determines a delay of a connection between the source base station and the target base station. The source base station computes an action time taking into account the determined delay, the action time specifying a time when the target base station is able to allocate resources to the mobile station for the handover.
