Embodiment Construction

[0024] First refer to figure 1 , a radio communication system generally shown at 10 provides radio communication with a mobile station, exemplified by mobile station 12 . In an example embodiment, a communication system includes components operable generally in compliance with operating protocols and procedures set forth in specifications related to GSM / GPRS / EDGE (Global System for Mobile Communications / General Packet Radio Service / Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution) . Although the following description will describe example operations of the communication system with reference to example embodiments of the communication system, the communication system more broadly represents any of a variety of radio communication systems that provide data communication services. Accordingly, the following descriptions of example embodiments are examples only. Furthermore, by appropriate substitution, the formation figure 1 The functional entities of the various parts of the communication sy...

Abstract

Apparatus, and an associated method, for selecting a radio subsystem in a radio communication system. Selection is made in a manner that optimizes better the selection for communication of data pursuant to a data communication service. A network capacity analyzer includes a capacity indicia collector that collects metric information associated with communication system capacities. Network information is collected pertaining, e.g., to a backhaul network, a radio access network, and a core network of the radio communication system. The collected information is provided to an aggregate capacity determiner that determines the aggregate capacities of the communication system. Such values are provided to a mobile station. The values are used pursuant to reselection procedures to select a radio subsystem through which to communicate.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a way of selecting or reselecting base transceiver stations or other radio subsystems through which packet data, such as that communicated in GSM / GPRS / EDGE communication systems, is communicated. More specifically, the present invention relates to an apparatus and associated method for selecting a radio subsystem based on a combination of signal strength or quality and available capacity. [0002] A better choice for a radio subsystem may be provided as a criterion on which to base a better choice to optimize the choice when communicating data that is typically bursty in nature (i.e., bursty transmissions) . Does not rely on suboptimal selection criteria such as those conventionally used to select or reselect wireless subsystems based on circuit-switched voice communications or other non-bursty communications; rather, based on unique characteristics and requirements, such as allocation needs for allocation of ...
