发明名称 Location-based, event triggered inter-radio access technology handovers from a CDMA macrocell to a WCDMA femtocell
摘要 The present invention provides a method for implementation in mobile unit that is configured to communicate with a wireless communication system that includes macrocells and femtocells. The macrocells and the femtocells use different generation radio access technologies. The method includes determining a distance between the mobile unit and the femtocell(s) and transmitting a first measurement report when the distance between the mobile unit and the femtocell(s) is less than a threshold distance. The method also includes performing an inter-radio access technology handoff from the base transceiver station to the femtocell when the distance is less than a threshold distance.

主权项 1. A method implemented in a mobile unit that is configured to communicate with a wireless communication system that comprises at least one base transceiver station and at least one femtocell, said at least one base transceiver station using a different radio access technology than said at least one femtocell, the method comprising: receiving, at said mobile unit in a connection setup message transmitted by the at least one femtocell, information indicating coordinates of said at least one femtocell; receiving, at said mobile unit from said at least one base transceiver station, information indicating a threshold distance; determining, at said mobile unit, a distance between said mobile unit and said at least one femtocell by comparing coordinates of the mobile unit to the coordinates of said at least one femtocell; transmitting, from said mobile unit to said at least one base transceiver station, a first measurement report in response to the mobile unit determining that the distance between said mobile unit and said at least one femtocell is less than the threshold distance; and performing an inter-radio access technology handoff from said at least one base transceiver station to said at least one femtocell when the distance between said mobile unit and said at least one femtocell is less than the threshold distance.
