Patent ID: 8027307

Claim:
A system for managing a packet transmission delay for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)-based communications in a mobile communication system, comprising: a Base Station Controller (BSC) for imposing no random delay on a packet directed to a Mobile Station (MS) or a packet transmitted from the MS, if the MS is performing a handover, and imposing a random delay on a packet directed to the MS or a packet transmitted from the MS, if the MS is not performing the handover, under the TCP/IP-based communications; the MS for measuring signal strengths of Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs) and requesting the handover, under the TCP/IP-based communications; an old BTS serving the MS, for receiving the handover request from the MS and requesting the handover for the MS to the BSC, under the TCP/IP-based communications; and a new BTS to which the MS performs the handover, under the TCP/IP-based communications.
