Abstract

See full text

A method and system for performing macrodiversity or soft handover in TDMA radiocommunication systems are described. Half rate transmissions are used to provide additional diversity communication channels in systems having insufficient timeslots at full rate. The mobile station can receive the same information from and/or transmit the same information to a plurality of base stations to provide diversity combination and improve transmission quality. The mobile unit assists in making handover decisions by monitoring the signal strength of control channels transmitted by base stations in neighboring cells.
