RNC interface streamlining comprising the steps of:
transferring destination address and binding information
from a first radio network controller to a second radio network
controller;
releasing a number of transport level connections, wherein
each of the transport level connections were utilized to support
a corresponding diversity leg;
establishing a new transport level connection between the
second radio network controller and each of a plurality of
destination nodes by dispatching a destination address and
binding information from the second radio network controller to
each of the destination nodes; and
binding one or more resources at each destination node,
based on the binding information dispatched to each destination
node, to support a corresponding diversity leg between each
destination node and the second radio network controller.
