Wireless terminal controlled mobility operational parameters
First Claim
1. A method for controlling mobility operational parameters by a wireless terminal where the wireless terminal interconnects to a wireless telecommunication system via a plurality of base stations, comprising the steps of:
- receiving parameter selection information from a user via the wireless terminal;
storing the parameter selection information in the wireless terminal; and
activating operational parameters specified by parameter selection information wherein the activated operational parameters specify operations of the wireless terminal during a telephone conversation with one of the operational parameters controlling a noise threshold level above which the wireless terminal will mute audio information from one of the plurality of base station on which the wireless terminal is registered.

Abstract
Allowing a user of a wireless terminal to control the mobility operational parameters when desired by the user. The user enters parameter selection information into the wireless terminal; and the wireless terminal converts this parameter selection information into operational parameters and activates these operational parameters. The operational parameters can include a noise threshold level for determining when to mute audio information being communicated between the wireless terminal and a base station. Another operational parameter is the hand-off signal threshold level below which the wireless terminal seeks a new base station upon which to register. The parameter selection information can be in the form of icons which the user selects, or the user may enter precise numerical data. The user of the wireless terminal is given the capability of specifying the base station to which the wireless terminal will register. In addition, for testing purposes the wireless terminal can be programmed to display the signal strength of the base station on which the wireless terminal is registered.
