Latest Patents
Holcman's latest patents include a method and apparatus for inter-system soft handoff. This invention describes a process for operating a cellular telephone system that supports performing an inter-system soft handoff. A subscriber unit generates a pilot strength measurement report when the pilot channel from a base station is detected. When a base station controller receives this report and determines that the base station is part of a second cellular telephone system, an inter-system soft handoff request is generated. An admission control subsystem then evaluates this request based on the traffic level with the second cellular telephone system.
Another significant patent by Holcman is a method and apparatus for measurement directed hard handoff in a CDMA network. In this invention, a network user communicates using a remote unit with another user via at least one base station. The first base station measures a round trip delay of an active communication signal between itself and the remote unit. The remote unit measures a phase offset of a pilot signal from a candidate base station and reports it to the first mobile switching center. This allows for a calculated candidate round trip delay, facilitating efficient communication between the remote unit and the base stations.
