Title:
METHOD FOR IMPROVING WIRELESS NETWORK PERFORMANCE IN A MULTI-CELL COMMUNICATION NETWORK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006060358
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A Radio Resource Management (RRM) module (620) is provided to capture network topology information associated with a wirele communication network This information is transmitted to a Smart Antenna (SA) module (610) collocated within a network node Th SA module determines the appropriate direction, width and power of beams transmitted in the network The SA module adjusts the direction, width, and/or power of the beams accordingly A multi-purpose network node for communicating in a wireless communication network operates in a base station mode If the node detects a change in the network, it determines whether the change should trigger a change in operating modes If such a change is desired, the node switches between base station and wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) modes The node continues to operate in a WTRU mode until another mode tpggepng event occurs In an alternate embodiment, the multi-purpose node operates in base station and WTRU modes simultaneously.
