Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9532593A1] Procedure and circuit for advance handover in mobile radio systems in the presence of abrupt radio signal attenuation and associated circuit particularly useful in urban microcellular environments. The procedure consists of an appropriate digital filtering of the short-term mean values (approximately 0.5 seconds) of level samples either measured downlink by a mobile apparatus or sent uplink to the serving station. Said filtering is implemented by applying a FIR methodology to the mean input values expressed in dBm. The filtered values are compared with a predetermined threshold, the exceeding of which brings advance emission of a level-caused handover request between the mobile and a preferred adjacent cell (target). When the threshold is not exceeded, the criteria normally provided for handover continue to apply.
