Increasing reference signal level to prevent communication format change
First Claim
1. A method of operating a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- identifying a wireless communication device with first communication format to second communication format switching capability;
allocating a center bandwidth in the first communication format for the wireless communication device;
identifying a handover event from the wireless communication device requesting a switch from the first communication format to the second communication format; and
in response to the handover event, increasing reference signal power for at least the center bandwidth in the first communication format to prevent the switch from the first communication format to the second communication format.

15. A wireless communication system comprising at least:
-
a wireless communication device configured with first communication format to second communication format switching capability; two or more wireless base stations configured to communicate with the wireless communication device in the first communication format; and a reference signal system configured to; identify the wireless communication device; allocate a center bandwidth in the first communication format for the wireless communication device; identify a handover event from the wireless communication device requesting a switch from the first communication format to the second communication format; and in response to the handover event, increase reference signal power for at least the center bandwidth in the first communication format to prevent the switch from the first communication format to the second communication format. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
