Method and system for switching a mobile device in a mobile network
First Claim
1. A method for switching a mobile device from a source Base Transceiver Station (BTS) to a target BTS in a mobile network, the mobile network enabling communication between a plurality of mobile devices, the method comprising:
- detecting a cell switch intention for the mobile device, wherein the cell switch intention is detected by the source BTS and at least one target BTS;
receiving a switch detect time each from at least one of;
the source BTS and the at least one target BTS;
receiving at least one of a source coded BTS identifier from the at least one target BTS and at least one target coded BTS identifier from the source BTS;
determining a switch time for the mobile device based on the switch detect times; and
switching the mobile device from the source BTS to the target BTS based on the switch time.

Abstract
A method and a system for switching a mobile device (102) from a source Base Transceiver Station (BTS) to a target BTS in a mobile network (100) are disclosed. The method includes detecting an intention to switch the cell transmitted by the mobile device. A Base Station Controller (BSC) (112) then receives the switch detect time from the source BTS and/or the target BTS. The switch detect time is processed by the BSC to determine the switch time for the mobile device. The mobile device then switches from communication with the source BTS to communication with the target BTS, based on the switch time.
