Abstract:
The present disclosure describes techniques and systems for handing over a connection of a user device, within a wireless network, based on qualities of downlink signals and qualities of uplink signals. These techniques and systems include a base station and a neighboring base station negotiating handover parameters, based on the qualities of downlink signals as detected by a user device and the qualities of uplink signals as detected by the base station and the neighboring base station. The base station and neighboring base station negotiate the handover parameters via an interface connecting the base station to the neighboring base station.

Claim (Index 16):
A first base station comprising:\n a transceiver; an interface to a second base station; and a processor and computer-readable storage media comprising instructions to implement a handover manager application, the handover manager application configured to cause the first base station to:\n measure, via circuitry of the transceiver, a signal strength of a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) received from a user device that is connected to a wireless network through the first base station; \n determine an uplink-quality report based on the measured signal strength of the received SRS from the user device; \n determine, based on a negotiation with the second base station through the interface to the second base station, handover parameters, the determination based, at least in part, on the generated uplink-quality report determined from the received SRS from the user device and the handover parameters including a beamforming configuration that the user device is to use to directionally form uplink transmission beams when connecting to the wireless network through the second base station; and \n transmit, to the user device via the transceiver, a handover command, the transmission of the handover command directing the user device to connect to the wireless network through the second base station in accordance with the negotiated handover parameters.
