A method, apparatus, system, network element and and software product are presented for enabling a user equipment to efficiently use downlink codes during soft handover. The user equipment receives radio links in parallel from different base stations. In a code-optimized version, the code of at least one of the radio links is shared with at least one other user terminal during the soft handover. However, exclusive codes are employed for the other radio links to the user equipment. In a network-management-optimized version, exclusive codes are employed for all radio links to the user equipment. In this way, drifting radio links during soft handover can be kept within the receiver window of the user equipment. |
