Hello,
I have already reported this issue over a year ago. If you put the base
station to 5.5Mb in the sensitivity setting, you no longer have the
problem, at the cost of about 80K/sec of throughput, which is good or bad
depending on how bothersome the case may be.
When this situation arises, a satellite causes the base to retransmit
continuously for minutes at a time to one of the many satellites; only
the particular satellite receives the attention of the base. After a
while, the base will resume servicing other satellites.
I would like to see the Turbocell code act in a different manner in these
cases to guarantee service to the other satellites in cases such as this.
I don't understand how one independant satellite can cause the base to
focus only on it and not on the others. I am also surprised that it took
this long for others to report the problem, as suddenly it is now being
posted regularily to this list.
