Abstract
In a cellular communication system, a processing arrangement and method supporting packet data communication. The processing arrangement includes a plurality of base station processors (BPs) and a plurality of managing processors (MPs). Each BP communicates with a plurality of base stations and mobile subscriber stations. The MPs manage the mobile subscriber stations, and each MP contains mobile subscriber station information for a number of mobile subscriber stations. The MPs provide information regarding their processing load status to the BPs by adding the information to packet data transmissions. The BPs use the information to assign each mobile subscriber station that is registered with the arrangement to one of the MPs.
