Abstract
A method in a system including a mobile station, a group of active cells including a first serving cell and a second target cell and a controller of the active cells which switches forward link transmissions of data packets from the controller through the first serving cell to the mobile station to forward link transmission of data packets from the controller through a second cell to the mobile station. The method determines at the mobile station that switching of forward link transmissions should occur from the first serving cell to the second target cell while forward link transmission of data packets through the first serving cell to the mobile station are occurring; transmitting an indication to switch the forward link transmission of data packets to the second target cell from the mobile station to the controller; the controller in response to the indication switches the transmission of data packets from the first serving cell to the second target cell; and the second target cell transmits the data packets to the mobile station.
