MULTIPLE ACCESS HANDLING IN A CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

A method and apparatus for use in a cellular mobile radio telephone system for determining which of one of several mobile generated transmissions received in a mobile switching center, sent from the same mobile station via more than one base station, should be accepted. A determination is made based on the relative signal strengths of the signals received by the base stations and by the relative time of occurrence of the mobile generated transmissions.
