I did not find a better solution. I found some stuff supporting "foreground cell" ( http://www.motorola.com/governmentandenterprise-uat/contentd... , http://www.wikipatents.com/GB-Patent-2358550/battery-saving-... ), but nothing conclusive. I'm almost certain it is, as Didier suggests, a term poorly translated into French, because numerous native speakers who have seen the whole text think it was originally written in English. In the end, the client said that the translation as a whole exceeded expectations so it can't have been too bad an effort!
Carlos Segura Aug 25, 2012:
David, did you find a translation for "cellule avant-plan" better than "foreground cell"? If so, please let the forum know?
Didier Fourcot Aug 24, 2012:
forwarding cells? This appears rather meaningless in French, as I suspect a mistranslaiton from English or some other languages, this could make sense in a mobile phone context

foreground cell

Foreground; something to do with priority, I think, but I am no specialist.

I hope others confirm or otherwise provide the correct answer.

I have looked further and have found in IATE (http://iate.europa.eu) the following references in the domain of information technology and data processing:

Jean Claude Fantou, Ing Télécomm, CNET, Issy-les-Moulineaux, 1993 - Avant-plan : partie protégée d'une mémoire centrale à laquelle ne peuvent accéder que des instructions privilégiées.

Sippl, Dict. of Data Comunications, MacMillan, 1985 - Foreground: in multiprogramming, the environment in which high-priority programs are executed.

It would seem that "foreground cell" might be on the right track.
Something went wrong...
