Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for ensuring communication quality for a mobile subscriber (MS) on an IP-based wireless telecommunications network, the method comprising: monitoring communication connections associated with each communication from the mobile subscriber (MS) that is managed in the IP-based wireless telecommunications network, identifying an entry point that is associated with the communication connection of each MS in the IP-based wireless telecommunications network, determining a communication quality for active communications that are associated with the entry point; determining a number of idle communications that are identified with the entry point; and handing off, by the IP-based wireless telecommunications network, at least one monitored active communication associated with the entry point when the determined communication quality for active communications is unacceptable; and handing off, by the IP-based wireless telecommunications network, at least one monitored idle communication associated with the entry point when the determined number of idle communications reaches a threshold limit, whereby the communication quality for each communication that is managed in the IP-based wireless telecommunications network is improved.
