Methods and systems for handover process in wireless communication networks

摘要

A method for performing a handover process in a wireless communication system (50), the method comprising allocating a communication channel to a first infrastructure station (500a) in the wireless communication system, reserving a signature corresponding to the communication channel for the first infrastructure station, the signature enabling a user equipment (504) attached to the first infrastructure station to communicate with a second infrastructure station (500b) in the wireless communication system over the communication channel, receiving from the user equipment (504) a message including the signature over the communication channel, determining a timing advance as an offset to a delay of the message, and sending the timing advance to the user equipment (504) through the first infrastructure station (SOOa).
