Application No. 08/771,426
mobile station capable of operating in multiple hyperbands. As
the mobile station moves through a plurality of cells operating
either in a first hyperband or a second hyperband, the mobile
station may change the base station as well as the hyperband over
which the communication is performed (specification, page 13).
The mobile station is programmed with hyperband and/or frequency
band selection criteria which is transmitted to a base station or
system server (specification, page 18). The system server
receives the mobile station’s programmed selection criteria and
identifies a list of neighboring cells across each of the
hyperbands for hand-off (specification, page 26). The list is
processed in view of the received mobile station selection
criteria to select one of the cells in a hyperband and frequency
band for hand-off according to the received criteria (id.).
Representative independent claim 38 is reproduced as
follows:
38. A multiple hyperband cellular communications
system, comprising:
a plurality of cells operating in a first hyperband;
a plurality of cells operating in a second hyperband;
a mobile station moving through the cells of the first
and second hyperbands and programmed with hyperband
selection criteria and operating to transmit its programmed
hyperband selection criteria;
