Method and apparatus for providing a distributed architecture digital wireless communication system

摘要

A mobile station (402) selects (1802) a preferred cell site for transmitting a frame of data to be sent subsequently to the mobile station. A base station (602) of the preferred cell site schedules (1804) a transmission of the frame of data, wherein parameters for the transmission are determined by the base station from recently-measured channel and interference information. Thereafter, the base station sends (1806) the frame of data from the preferred cell site; and an active set of base stations associated with the mobile station at ones of a plurality of cell sites synchronize (1808) their data queues to reflect the transmission of the frame of data.
