Abstract:
1. A telecommunication method comprising: selecting one of a plurality of base stations of a mobile communication system as a target base station for a handover of a user equipment from a first base station of the plurality of base stations to the target base station, wherein the first base station has a previously established communication link with the user equipment and performs the selecting; transmitting a handover request from the first base station to said target base station, wherein the handover request includes physical resource information to be used by the first base station for transmitting a handover command to the user equipment, wherein the target base station uses the physical resource information to not transmit the physical resources during transmission of the handover command or to transmit the physical resources at reduced transmission power during transmission of the handover command; receiving a handover request acknowledgement from said target base station at the first base station, said handover request acknowledgment being indicative of at least one physical resource of said target base station, wherein a description of the at least one physical resource is decoded using a modulo operation with a temporary identifier of the user equipment, wherein the at least one physical resource is a physical resource block, wherein the modulo operation decodes a first block position of the physical resource block in at least a predefined digit position from the temporary identifier, wherein the at least one physical resource is selected for minimizing interference with the target base station during the transmission of the handover command; and transmitting the handover command to said user equipment via said communication link, the communication link being previously established via said at least one physical resource, said handover command being descriptive of information required for accessing said target base station.
