When the mobile subscriber station determines that a listening link has a better
link quality than the current forwarding link, it changes the link state so that the
listening link with the higher quality becomes forwarding.
These
look ahead
and
make before break
handover schemes allow the
BelAir100SN with mobile backhaul mesh links to provide uninterrupted
support for a wide variety of applications, including voice and video.
Each base station node can support up to eight links. These can be mobile links
or links to other stationary base stations. Mobile links can be either forwarding
or listening. If a mobile subscriber station arrives within range of the base
station, its forwarding link has precedence over the listening links of the other
mobile subscriber stations.
