Wireless communication management system and supporting method and apparatus
First Claim
1. A method for managing wireless communications comprising:
- determining whether a signal strength measurement of a base station in an non-active set of a mobile station is less than a filtering threshold;
ignoring the signal strength measurement of the base station when the signal strength is less than the filtering threshold;
executing a command based on a predefined event when the signal strength measurement is not less than the filtering threshold.

Abstract
Management of a wireless communication system (10) has been provided with a filtering threshold (34) in addition to trigger events as a way to control handovers of mobile stations (12, 14). In a non-active set base station process, it is determined (106) whether a signal strength measurement of a base station in a non-active set of a mobile station is less than the filtering threshold (34). If not, the predefined event is executed (108). Otherwise, the signal strength measurement is ignored (112). For an active set base station process, it is determined (206) whether a signal strength measurement of a base station in the active set of the mobile station is less than the filtering threshold (34). If not, the signal strength measurement is again compared (212) to an event threshold defined by an event. The signal strength measurement of the base station is ignored (214) when the signal strength measurement is not less than the event threshold.

18. An apparatus for managing wireless communications comprising:
-
a receiver having a signal strength measurement of a base station to a mobile station;
a filter comparator operably coupled to the receiver and having a filtering threshold for comparison with the signal strength measurement of the base station;
a controller operably coupled to the filter comparator that ignores the signal strength measurement of the base station when the signal strength measurement is less than the filtering threshold and executes a command based on a predefined event when the signal strength measurement is not less than the filtering threshold.
