| 摘要 |
A system, method and computer program product is described that facilitates the provision of increased bandwidth in a broadband wireless communication system, such as a WiMAX communication system, by initiating and performing a hot handover of an active mobile communication session from a first base station to a second base station. The first base station may be a low-capacity base station and the second base station may be a high-capacity base station. The hot handover occurs even in instances where the mobile station is receiving a stronger signal from the first base station than the second base station. The hot handover is initiated by an entity separate from the mobile station. This entity makes the handover decision based upon inputs from the broadband wireless communication network and optionally from overlay Operations Support System (OSS) and/or Business Support System (BSS) components.
