SERVING BASE STATION SELECTION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Techniques for selecting a reverse link (RL) serving base station for a terminal are described. The terminal sends a transmission on the reverse link to multiple base stations in a wireless communication system. The transmission may be for signaling sent on a control channel. The terminal receives feedback (e.g., power control (PC) commands and/or erasure indications) from the multiple base stations. Each base station may generate feedback based on the control channel and/or some other transmission received from the terminal. The terminal performs reverse link power control and further selects an RL serving base station based on the received feedback. For example, the terminal may select the base station with the lowest transmit power level, the largest percentage of power down commands, or the lowest erasure rate as the RL serving base station.
