Abstract

See full text

A cellular telephone handover process, mediated by a mobile terminal or a base station, is controlled in accordance with Quality of service Control Indicators (QCIs) such that the base station to which handover is made (if any) is selected according to parameters which relate to the capability of each base station to handle the session or sessions currently is use. Handover may also be initiated if the user initiates an application not supported by the base station currently in use. If the session is running an application with a low latency threshold (e.g., conversational voice call), and a handover could only be achieved by interrupting the session by a “release with redirection” process, the handover is not proceeded with.
