CA 2668630

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate enhancing acquisition and handoff in a wireless network deployment by leveraging primary pilots and secondary pilots. The deployment can support more than one frequency band for operation, yet a mobile device can receive signals on one frequency band at a given time. Thus, a base station can transmit primary pilot(s) over frequency band(s) associated with operating data channel(s) as well as secondary pilot(s) over frequency band(s) that lack data channel(s) for the base station. Moreover, the base station can convey information that indicates to a mobile device whether each pilot is primary or secondary. Further, the mobile device can employ knowledge of pilot type (e.g., primary or secondary) as well as signal strength to effectuate handoff decisions; thus, disruptions in communication can be mitigated.

L'invention concerne des systèmes et des méthodologies qui facilitent l'amélioration de l'acquisition et du transfert intercellulaire dans un déploiement de réseau sans fil en exploitant des pilotes primaires et des pilotes secondaires. Le déploiement peut supporter plus d'une bande de fréquence pour fonctionnement, cependant un dispositif mobile peut recevoir des signaux sur une bande de fréquence à un moment donné. Ainsi, une station de base peut transmettre un ou des pilotes primaires sur une ou des bandes de fréquence associées aux canaux de données en fonctionnement ainsi qu'un ou des pilotes secondaires sur une ou des bandes de fréquence qui ne présentent pas de canaux de données pour la station de base. De plus, la station de base peut acheminer des informations qui indiquent à un dispositif mobile si chaque pilote est primaire ou secondaire. En outre, le dispositif mobile peut employer la connaissance de type de pilote (par exemple, primaire ou secondaire) ainsi que l'intensité de signal pour effectuer des décisions de transfert intercellulaire, atténuant ainsi des ruptures de communication.
