Application 09/069,765
signals from multiple transmission sources, the invention
determines if the station is substantially stationary. If the
station is determined to be substantially stationary, then the
signal strength of each of the multiple transmission sources is
compared to a threshold and the weakest transmissions are
terminated. Appellants’ specification at page 1, lines 7-8, and
page 5, lines 3-6.
Claim 1 is representative of the claimed invention and is
reproduced as follows:
1. A method for performing handoff in a radio communication
system comprising the steps of:
transmitting substantially the same information from a
plurality of sources to a remote station;
determining if said remote station is substantially
stationary;
evaluating transmissions from each of said plurality of
sources using a result of said determining step; and
selectively terminating transmissions from at least one of
said plurality of sources based upon a result of said evaluating
step.
