INTER-FREQUENCY MEASUREMENTS WITH MIMO TERMINALS

摘要

A system and method for providing inter-frequency and inter-system handovers . A terminal (20') includes at least one radio transceiver including P radio receivers (20) and at least one transmitter (16) with P being an integer and at least equal to 2. Each radio receiver (20) includes an antenna (41), a terminal controller (18) controlling radio transceiver. The terminal controller (18) causes at least one of the radio receivers (20) to be turned to the at least one frequency band during the at least one identified data frame and to make measurements therein and to transmit the measurements with at least one transmitter of the at least one radio transceiver to a station (24).
