A wireless cellular telecommunication system with an internet protocol
network is provided. The wireless cellular telecommunication system
comprises one or more base transceiver stations. The base transceiver
stations can selectively provide a radio resource management processing.
The radio resource management processing can provide a means for
performing an inter-base transceiver station handover. A base transceiver
station can communicate with another base transceiver station for the
radio resource management processing without assistance from a
centralized controller to perform control processing for the base
transceiver stations. The base transceiver stations can further
selectively provide a radio resource management processing, such as
allocating a radio channel, deallocating a radio channel, changing a
radio channel, or activating ciphering, without the assistance from a
centralized controller to perform control processing for the base
transceiver stations.
