Patent ID: 7362715

Claim:
A diversity handover control communicating with a mobile terminal through a plurality of base stations, comprising: a forward data transmitter configured to prepare and transmit at least one frame of data, using transmission parameters, to the plurality of base stations, the transmission parameters being configured to ensure substantially simultaneous transmissions of the at least one frame from the plurality of base stations to the mobile terminal, wherein the transmission parameters comprise a frame number for the at least one frame which corresponds to a transmission time of the at least one frame from each base station to the mobile terminal; a reverse data receiver configured to receive timing adjustment information from at least one of the plurality of base stations, where the timing adjustment information is prepared, based on a difference between an actual arrival time of the at least one frame at the at least one base station and an estimated arrival time of the at least one frame at the at least one base station; and a synchronization adjuster configured to reconfigure at least one of the transmission parameters based on the timing adjustment information to achieve synchronization of transmissions of a subsequent frame from the at least one base station and one or more other base stations to the mobile terminal.
