摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method for applying diversity reception when signals of a mobile station (MS) are received via at least two separate base stations (BTS1, BTS2). A first base station controller (BSC1) is arranged to forward the signals received from a base station (BTS1) to a second base station controller (BSC2), which is arranged to apply diversity combining to forward the received signals further to a mobile switching center (MSC1, MSC2). In connection with handover, the second base station controller (BSC2) is arranged to forward the signals received from a base station (BTS2) to the first base station controller (BSC1); a connection is set up from the first base station controller (BSC1) to the mobile switching center (MSC1, MSC2); and the first base station controller (BSC1) is arranged to apply diversity combining to forward the received signals further to the mobile switching center (MSC1, MSC2).
