and col. 11, line 44-57). Therefore, Leung is merely concerned
with efficient allocation of system resources based on the
processed statistics that determine a cell-level hierarchy and
how the calls should be distributed among the base stations by
selection between macrocell or microcell operation. However,
Leung discloses nothing related to hyperband selection criteria
programmed into the mobile unit and the operation of the
communications system on either a first hyperband or a second
hyperband in view of the hyperband selection criteria.
The admitted prior art, on the other hand, teaches that
cellular communications on different hyperbands may exist for
mobile stations that are capable of operating in multiple
hyperbands. Additionally, the admitted prior art points to the
need for controlling overlapping or adjacent cells in different
hyperbands by stating in page 6, lines 1-10, that:
It would be beneficial if the cellular communications
system were configured from both the system and
terminal point of view to allow multiple hyperband
capable mobile stations to operate seamlessly between
the available hyperbands. At the same time, however,
some control over which hyperband and frequency band
therein that are accessed by the mobile station must
be maintained in order to avoid subscriber surcharges
and enable service providers to derive revenue from
use of their own bands.
