연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

Methods and systems are provided for dynamically expanding and retracting a frame selection interval in a wireless communication network. A frame selector receives a sequence of frames for a call from each of a plurality of base stations serving a mobile communication device for the call, and performs a frame selection process based on an initial selection interval to select a best frame from the sequence of frames received from each of the base stations during each instance of the initial selection interval. The frame selector is adapted to track the presence and absence of late or early frames, and uses this information to dynamically expand the frame selection interval when late or early frames are detected. The frame selector then performs the frame selection process based on the expanded selection interval to select the best frame from the sequence of frames during subsequent instances of the expanded selection interval.

The method of claim 1 further comprising: detecting that frames of the at least one of the sequences of frames are no longer being received outside of the initial selection interval during instances of the expanded selection interval; retracting the expanded selection interval to the initial selection interval responsive to detecting that the frames of the at least one of the sequences of frames are no longer being received outside of the initial selection interval; and performing the frame selection process based on the initial selection interval to select the best frame from the sequence of frames received from each of the base stations during subsequent instances of the initial selection interval. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein each of the sequence of frames comprises circuit- or packet-mode voice traffic, and the retraction of the expanded selection interval results in storage of an extra buffered best frame received from the plurality of base stations, and the method further comprises: determining when qualities of the frames received from the base stations during an instance of the initial selection interval are below a quality threshold; generating an erasure frame responsive to determining that the qualities of the frames are below the quality threshold; and transmitting the extra buffered best frame to a vocoder or other network element in place of the erasure frame. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein each of the sequence of frames comprises circuit- or packet-mode voice traffic, and the retraction of the expanded selection interval results in storage of an extra buffered best frame received from the plurality of base stations, and the method further comprises: determining when a silence frame is received from the base stations during an instance of the initial selection interval; and transmitting the extra buffered best frame to a vocoder or other network element in place of the erasure frame. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the expanded selection interval is expanded over the initial selection interval by a time based on a differential time period between a boundary of the initial selection interval and a time the at least one outlier frame is received from the at least one of the base stations. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the at least one outlier frame is received early from the at least one of the base stations, and the boundary is a beginning boundary of the initial selection interval. 7. The method of claim 5, wherein the at least one outlier frame is received late from the at least one of the base stations, and the boundary is an ending boundary of the initial selection interval. 8. A frame selector in a wireless communication network, the frame selector comprising: an interface system adapted to receive a sequence of frames for a call from each of a plurality of base stations serving a mobile communication device for the call; a processing system coupled to the interface system and adapted to: perform a frame selection process based on an initial selection interval to select a best frame from the sequence of frames received from each of the base stations during each instance of the initial selection interval; detect at least one outlier frame of the sequence of frames received from at least one of the base stations outside of the initial selection interval during at least one instance of the initial selection interval; expand the initial selection interval to an expanded selection interval responsive to detecting the at least one outlier frame; and perform the frame selection process based on the expanded selection interval to select the best frame from the sequence of frames received from each of the base stations during subsequent instances of the expanded selection interval. 9.
