Adjacent radio cells paging channel chaining system
First Claim
1. A neighboring radio cell paging channel chaining system for cellular mobile radio networks having a plurality of adjacent radio cells and at least one mobile station, and in which paging channels have free transmission capacity and respective specified frequencies, comprising:
- first means in each radio cell for transmitting, in the free transmission capacity of at least one paging channel, paging channel frequency identifiers of the paging channels of the adjacent neighboring radio cells;
second means in the mobile radio station operable to carry out level measurements at chronological intervals on the specified paging channel frequencies; and
third means in the mobile radio station operable to compare the measured levels with the level of the paging channel being employed by the mobile radio station and reassign the mobile radio station to a neighboring radio cell when the paging channel of the neighboring radio cell has a better quality of radio connection than the presently assigned radio cell.

Abstract
The free transmission capacity of one or more paging channels within a radio cell is employed in order to transmit organization specifications concerning the paging channel frequencies employed in the neighboring radio cells. The appertaining mobile radio station carries out level comparison measurements at suitable chronological intervals on the specific paging channel frequencies for the purpose of its potentially necessary reassignment to a neighboring radio cell. A reassignment of the appertaining mobile radio station to the corresponding neighboring radio cell occurs when a better radio connection quality exists on one of the neighboring radio cell paging channels.
