Apparatus and method for selecting serving sector in a mobile communication system

摘要

An apparatus and method is provided for determining a serving sector using a signal received from a base station. A received signal strength measurer measures a strength of a pilot signal received from the serving sector and a strength of a pilot signal received from a sector in an active set. A controller then calculates a difference between the strength of the pilot signal received from the serving sector and the strength of the pilot signal received from the sector in the active set, updates selection parameters by comparing the calculated difference with a predetermined threshold, and selects a best serving sector from the active sectors in the active set using the updated selection parameters and comparative parameters. A memory can be implemented to store the parameters.
