Patent AT-E400156-T1: [Translated] METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REASSOCIATING A BASE STATION CONTROLLER IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

A method and apparatus for base station controller relocation in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The apparatus for relocating a serving base station controller according to the present invention comprises a switching function part and a signaling function part. The signaling function part executes a change through a connection procedure in response to a base station controller relocation request from a source base station controller. The switching function part creates a termination 3 (T3) for the target base station controller and performs simplex switching to the terminations to connect the termination 3 (T3) to a termination 2(T2) initially maintaining connection with the source base station controller, thereby relocating the target base station controller as a serving base station controller.
