HANDOVER PROCESSING IN MULTIPLE ACCESS POINT DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of handover processing comprising:
- configuring at a receiver a roaming list comprising a plurality of entries, wherein each entry comprises one or more receive parameters of the receiver;
performing a measurement operation at the receiver on a current entry of the roaming list;
selecting an entry of the roaming list based on the measurement operation;
setting a transmitter based on the selected entry of the roaming list; and
transmitting an uplink signal to an access point at a time based on a slot start time and a random timing offset, and wherein the uplink signal is transmitted while at least a portion of a second signal is transmitted from a second node such that both the uplink signal and the second signal are received.

Abstract
This disclosure relates to method, device and system for performing handover processing. A roaming list is configured at a receiver which includes multiple entries. Each entry of the roaming list includes receive parameters. A measurement operation is performed on an entry of the roaming list. A transmitter is set based on the measurement operation. Finally, an uplink signal is transmitted to an access point at a time based on a slot start time and a random timing offset. The uplink signal is transmitted while a second signal is transmitted from another node.

12. A node comprising:
-
a processor; a receiver operatively coupled to the processor and configured to configure a roaming list comprising a plurality of entries, wherein each entry comprises one or more receive parameters of the receiver; perform a measurement operation on a current entry of the roaming list; select an entry of the roaming list based in part on the measurement operation; set a transmitter based on the selected entry of the roaming list; and transmit an uplink signal to an access point at a time based on a slot start time and a random timing offset, and wherein the uplink signal is transmitted while at least a portion of a second signal is transmitted from a second node such that both the uplink signal and the second signal are received. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system comprising:
-
a first access point comprising a first downlink transmitter configured to transmit with a first transmit parameter; a second access point comprising a second downlink transmitter configured to transmit with a second transmit parameter; and a node comprising a processor, a receiver operatively coupled to the processor and configured to configure a roaming list comprising a plurality of entries, wherein a first entry comprises the first transmit parameter and a second entry comprises the second transmit parameter, perform a measurement operation on a current entry of the roaming list, select an entry of the roaming list based in part on a greatest RSSI metric, set a transmitter based on the selected entry of the roaming list, and transmit an uplink signal to an access point at a time based on a slot start time and a random timing offset, and wherein the uplink signal is transmitted while at least a portion of a second signal is transmitted from a second node such that both the uplink signal and the second signal are received. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
