ACCOMMODATING PACKET DATA LOSS AT BASE STATIONS INTERFACING BETWEEN A PACKET SWITCHED NETWORK AND A CDMA MACRODIVERSITY NETWORK

摘要

A plurality of base stations are operated in CDMA macrodiversity mode to communicate a message to a mobile station via an air interface. If the message is successfully communicated to one of the base stations via a packet network, the base station communicates the message to the mobile station via the air interface using CDMA. Otherwise, the base station refrains from communicating any message to the mobile station.
