System and method for selective registration in a multi-beam system
First Claim
1. A method for selective registration of a user equipment (UE) to one of a plurality of access points (APs), the method comprising:
- receiving an indication that each of a plurality of APs have received a signal from the UE;
registering the UE to a first one of the plurality of APs to satisfy registration requirements associated with the UE;
reporting to a controller information related to a signal strength of communication received at each AP from the UE; and
if the signal strength received at the registered AP is less than the signal strength received at one or more non-registered APs by more than a threshold amount, rejecting the registration of the UE to the registered AP.

Abstract
A system and method for selective registration of a user equipment (UE) to one of a plurality of access points (APs). An indication may be received that each of a plurality of APs have received a signal from a UE. The UE may be registered to the first one of the plurality of APs to satisfy registration requirements associated with the UE. Information may be reported to a controller related to the signal strength of communication received at each AP from the UE. If the signal strength received at the registered AP is less than the signal strength received at one or more of the non-registered APs by more than a threshold amount, the registration of the UE to the registered AP may be rejected.

-
a processor adapted to; receive an indication that each of a plurality of APs have received a signal from a single UE, register the UE to a first one of the plurality of APs to satisfy registration requirements associated with the UE; receive a report from each of the plurality of APs including information related to a signal strength of communication received at each of the APs from the UE, and if the signal strength received at the registered AP is less than the signal strength received at one or more non-registered APs by more than a threshold amount, reject the registration of the UE to the registered AP. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)
