Method of performing handoff in a wireless communication system
First Claim
1. A method for determining whether to handoff a mobile station in a wireless communication system, the wireless communication system including a base station in communication with a first mobile station, the method comprising the steps of:
- collecting first environmental variables related to the first mobile station within the wireless communication system;
determining when a communication between the base station and the first mobile station is improperly terminated;
analyzing, when the communication is improperly terminated, the first environmental variables to generate environmental conditions rules; and
applying the environmental conditions rules to a second mobile station which subsequently communicates with the base station and which has second environment variables substantially similar to the first environmental variables.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method for determining whether to handoff in a wireless communication system (100). The system (100) collects first environmental variables related to a first mobile station (105) within the wireless communication system (100). The system (100) determines when a communication between a base station (101) and the first mobile station (105) is improperly terminated. The system (100) analyzes, when the communication is improperly terminated, the first environmental variables to generate environmental conditions rules. The system (100) then applies the environmental conditions rules to a second mobile station (106) which subsequently communicates with the base station (101) and which has second environment variables substantially similar to the first environmental variables.

14. A method of performing handoff in a wireless communication system, the wireless communication system including a base-station responsive to a first mobile station and a second mobile station, the method comprising the steps of:
-
collecting a first set of environmental variables related to the first mobile station in communication with the first base-station; handing over the mobile station'"'"'s communication to a second base-station; collecting a second set of environmental variables related to the first mobile station in communication with the second base-station; analyzing the second set of environmental variables to generate environmental conditions rules when the communication is improperly terminated; and applying the environmental rules to mobile stations which communicate with the first base-station in the future and which have environment variables substantially similar to the first environmental variables. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
