MOBILE STATION, INFRASTRUCTURE PROCESSOR, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USE IN CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

A mobile station (112) for use in a cellular communication system (100) includes a transceiver and a processor (214) operable to apply a cell re-selection procedure which includes determining whether the mobile station should change its serving base station, wherein the transceiver is operable to receive via its serving base station (122) a signal from an infrastructure processor (402) advising or instructing the mobile station to select a particular base station (126) in its cell re-selection procedure, and the processor of the mobile station is operable to apply a cell re-selection procedure to determine whether the mobile station should change its serving base station to the particular selected base station, wherein the particular selected base station has been selected and specified by the infrastructure processor based upon the location of members of a group of mobile stations with which the mobile station is to communicate.
