Applying this procedure to cases where only the downlink is changed, the procedure requires the UE 11 to terminate the downlink transmission, tune in to the new downlink frequency and try to synchronize to it. However, UE 11 must first interrupt the uplink connection and must not transmit on the uplink connection while this is being done. Thus, the inter-frequency hard handover always, by default, leads to an interruption on the uplink. Node B 21 must reacquire the uplink connection after the UE 11 starts transmitting again on the uplink connection. 0173.41821A00 NC35798PCT
  • the order of steps in the previous handover procedure is that the network starts downlink transmission on the new downlink frequency, UE 11 stops transmission on the uplink connection and tries to synchronize to the new downlink connection. Once UE 11 has found the new downlink connection and verified that the downlink connection is operating properly, it may then resume transmissions on the uplink connection and the base station 21 tries to reacquire the uplink transmission from UE 11 and if the uplink transmission is found, base station 21 provides signaling back to UE 11 confirming the uplink transmission.
  • the 3GPP specifications do not account for the special case where frequency and other parameters of either the uplink connection or the downlink connection remains the same during the inter-frequency handover.
  • the network whenever one of the uplink or downlink frequencies is changed, by default, the network must perform the specified inter-frequency hard handover procedure. There is no way to avoid the additional unnecessary steps in the procedure.
  • the current 3GPP specifications do not indicate what happens if one of the uplink or downlink remains the same.
  • There is only a single hard handover procedure which is invoked whenever at least one of the uplink or downlink frequencies needs to be changed. Once the hard handover procedure is invoked and starts, it is always the same and the same steps are included in it.
  • the network sets up new physical resources on Node B 21 for the new uplink and downlink transmissions and then signals the UE 11 to go to the new frequencies.
  • the synchronization process starts where the UE 11 tries to establish the new downlink 0173.41821A00 NC35798PCT connection, interrupts the uplink connection and the network searches for the uplink connection, etc. In the network signaling, new resources will be setup for the uplink connection even if the frequency remains the same and it is possible to use the old physical resources.

  • the handover procedure is advantageously applied to additional available frequency spectrum.
  • 0173.41821A00 NC35798PCT among new extension bands being discussed is an extension band between 2500 and 2690 MHz identified as ITU S5.AAA in Fig. 5. Different scenarios for use of this additional extension band are possible. Noting that the extension band is not wide enough to support multiple duplex pairs having the conventional duplex separation of

  • variable duplexing in the UE is used to access the additional DL carrier(s) in the extension band outside the core bands.
  • the handover according to the above embodiments may be applied, along with variable duplex technology, to change the downlink frequency from the core band to the extension band.
  • a second scenario illustrated in Fig. 6 it is proposed that there be a plurality of sub-bands for UL and DL carriers which are adjacent to each other in the extension band. It is assumed that the (missing) UL part to the FDD (external) DL carriers within the extension band is implemented by using UL carriers from the core bands and variable duplexing. Thus, only existing UMTS core band operators will be able to use that part of the extension band.
  • the UL/DL "internal portions" of the spectrum shall be used by, for example, new (or also possible existing) operators autonomously, i.e., without the necessity to use core band carriers.
  • the new extension band can be used by UTRAN for load balancing or coverage.
  • the inter-frequency band handovers 0173.41821 A00 NC35798PCT become essential for efficient operation and use of the spectrum.
  • the handover according to the preferred embodiment can be used as an effective interference escape mechanism in the second scenario since it is faster than the previous handover procedures.
  • This handover may be triggered by a unique method to detect UE to UE adjacent channel interference.
  • Such an interference can happen at the border between FDD UL (internal) and FDD DL (external).
  • This interference does not occur in conventional fixed duplex wireless communication systems because the fixed distance between the carriers avoided the problem.
  • the interference is small enough not to be identified as a dead zone area by current methods, but it is large enough to cause inefficient use of base station resources.
  • Adjacent UE-UE interference can potentially create a large area of interference due to the fact that there are many mobiles i.e. many sources of interference. Thus, the number of significantly interfered mobiles can also be high summing up the inefficient use of base station resources.
  • Early detection of UE to UE interference and subsequent handovers therefore improves spectral efficiency.
  • a first UE 12 transmitting in an uplink carrier frequency adjacent to the downlink carrier frequency of another UE 11 can interfere with that adjacent downlink frequency and possibly create dead zones.
  • the result will be inefficient use of base station resources, i.e. additional base station transmission power, before the dead zone is reached.
  • the UE 11 can not distinguish the dead zone from the edge of the base station's cell.
  • the inefficient use of base station resources around the dead zones is 0173.41821A00 NC35798PCT easily avoided by performing a handover to a non-interfered downlink carrier according to the preferred embodiments.
  • Efficient use of base station resources allows high throughput and signal-to-interference ratio in packet switched services.
  • a variant of compressed mode measurement can be made to detect the interference and trigger an interference escaping handover, but a preferred method is shown in Fig. 8.
  • the preferred trigger method for the handover consists of separate UE measurements directly on the adjacent UL carrier(s).
  • UE 11 on carrier(s) "B” measures directly the signal strength (RSSI) of the adjacent UL carrier(s) "A”.
  • RSSI signal strength
  • UE 12 can optionally measure at the midpoint (or any point in between) of the two adjacent carriers instead of measuring both separately so that the required measurement time is reduced. RSSI measurements are very fast (1-2 time slots) and can be done efficiently without switching to compressed mode.
  • This trigger method allows a timely detection of UE to UE interference
  • FDD UL and DL is enabled without inefficient use of the downlink carrier.
  • Handovers according to the preferred embodiments are fast and efficient (no CM measurements 0173.41821A00 NC35798PCT required). Also, guard bands are not necessary, from the UE-UE interference point of view, resulting in higher spectral efficiency.
  • handovers can be done faster than inter-frequency hard handovers (due to comparable pathloss of co- sited DL carriers, DL synchronization, known SFN) and thus the missing feedback is minimized.
  • the pathloss of the target cell can be estimated because the new downlink channel that the UE has to synchronize to is coming from the same site (base station); there is only a different frequency for the channel. For example, radio transmissions at 2.5 GHz experience about 3dB stronger attenuation than radio transmissions at 2.1 GHz.
  • the transmissions from the very same base station can be synchronized which means that the UE can be provided with information indicating the synchronization status of the new cell including the system frame number (SFN).
  • SFN system frame number
  • the handovers according to the preferred embodiments are also faster than the previous inter-frequency hard handovers because it is not necessary to disrupt the uplink connection and the physical hardware resources in the network which demodulate the uplink do not have to be reallocated and reserved. Also, the handovers according to the preferred embodiments avoid the problem that, if there are terrestrial connections between the base station and the radio network controller for the uplink, it will take time to reallocate those connections. They preclude unnecessary things from happening in the network, such as signaling, resource reservations, etc, that occurred with previous handovers. 0173.41821A00 NC35798PCT
