Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs hybrid transmission mechanisms that combine TDMA/CDMA and OFDM/CDMA techniques within a single system framework. This multi-functional approach allows the base station to utilize different transmission methods simultaneously or alternately, depending on the specific requirements of different service types and radio conditions, thereby achieving enhanced adaptability.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The transmission system is segmented into different operational modes (TDMA-based and OFDM-based) that can be independently configured and activated. This segmentation allows complex hybrid mechanisms to be managed through modular control, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring multiple modulation and coding schemes before actual transmission occurs. Channel quality indicators and transmission parameters are measured and processed in advance, allowing the base station to quickly select and switch between pre-prepared modulation schemes during time-critical transmission intervals, thereby reducing real-time processing delays.

AI summary

A second access node sends, to a first access node, at least one message comprising: an identifier indicating a first cell of a third access node, wherein the second access node communicates with the third access node via a parent node of the third access node; and at least one parameter indicating that the second cell is of the parent node of the third access node, wherein the at least one parameter comprises an identifier indicating a second cell. The second access node receives, from the first access node, a message requesting a handover of a wireless device to the first cell.
