A method of selecting cells of base stations for soft-handover connection, and a network for mobile telecommunications

摘要

The method involves providing a network node (14) of a data frame from a mobile user terminal (20). For each cell (18,22) delay due to transfer of representation of the received data frame across interfaces between the nodes along a transfer path to node (14) is estimated by determining contribution to the delay caused by each interface along transfer path. Cells (18, 22) are selected dependent upon the associated delays. An independent claim is also included for a network for mobile telecommunication.
