ENHANCING USER EXPERIENCE DURING HANDOFFS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
First Claim
1. A method for performing a handoff for a mobile device from a first radio station to a second radio station, the method comprising:
- buffering a first media data set, the first media data set being received through the first radio station;
cross-correlating a tail portion of the first media data set and a head portion of a second media data set to generate a cross-correlated media data set, if the second media data set is received through the second radio station;
outputting the correlated media data set if the correlated media data set is generated;
synthesizing, using a modeled portion of the first media data set, a synthesized media data set, if no media data is received through the second radio station within a threshold, the threshold including at least one of a time threshold and a data amount threshold;
outputting the synthesized media data set if the synthesized media data set is synthesized;
extending at least a portion of the first media data set to generate an extended media data set, if no media data is received through the second radio station at the threshold; and
outputting the extended media data set if the extended media data set is generated.

Abstract
A method for performing a handoff for a mobile device from a first radio station to a second radio station. The method includes buffering a first media data set that is received through the first radio station. The method also includes cross-correlating a tail portion of the first media data set and a head portion of a second media data set to generate a cross-correlated media data set, if the second media data set is received through the second radio station. The method further includes synthesizing, using a modeled portion of the first media data set, a synthesized media data set, if no media data is received through the second radio station within a threshold. The method further includes extending the first media data set to generate an extended media data set, if no media data is received through the second radio station at the threshold.

12. A system for performing a handoff for a mobile device from a first radio station to a second radio station, the system comprising:
-
a buffer configured to buffer a first media data set, the first media data set being received through the first radio station;
a cross-correlation module configured to perform cross-correlation of a tail portion of the first media data set and a head portion of a second media data set to generate a cross-correlated media data set, if the second media data set is received through the second radio station;
a synthesizer module configured to synthesize, using a modeled portion of the first media data set, a synthesized media data set if no media data is received through the second radio station within a threshold, the threshold including at least one of a time threshold and a data amount threshold; and
an extension module configured to extend at least a portion of the first media data to generate an extended media data set if no media data is received through the second radio station at the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
