Base stations and repeaters both transmit a radio part number - an 8 bit number
between0 and 255.
The handset compares the RPN of the base/repeater to which it is currently
connected to that of the RPN of the base station/repeater it wants to handover
to.
The type of handover to use depends on the units involved in the handover.
Handovers
• Handovers between two base stations must take place as connection
handovers.
• Handovers between a repeater and the base station with which the repeater
is synchronized should preferably take place as bearer handovers, because
this is the fastest process.
• Handovers between a repeater and a base station with which the repeater
is not synchronized must take place as connection handovers.
Handover Capabilities
A handset cannot tell the difference between a base station and a repeater.
Therefore, the RPN transmission pattern by default determines how the
handover takes place. Assigning the recommended repeater RPN is therefore
very important.
