Methods to create a cellular-like communication system, such as a Wireless
Private Branch Exchange (WPBX), which includes mobile devices such as
standard cordless phones (handsets), particularly, mobile devices
utilizing the Bluetooth short-range wireless communication protocol. The
methods provide seamless and reliable handoff of sessions between Base
Stations while the mobile device is moving between picocells, by
implementing a high-level of synchronization between the Base Stations
and the Switch. Base Stations of picocells having small coverage areas
communicate with the handsets. The communication protocol is divided into
a low-level protocol performed by the Base Stations and a high-level
protocol performed by the Switch connected to all the Base Stations. The
methods support mobile computing or telephony devices and communication
protocols, which are not specified to handle handoffs of sessions while
moving between Base Stations coverage areas in a data, voice or telephony
wireless network.
