Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing inter-system hard handoff between communication systems (S1, S2) or inter-frequency hard handoff within a CDMA communication system is disclosed. The purpose of this invention is to reduce the probability of dropped calls during intersystem hard handoff. In the event that a hard handoff attempt is unsuccessful, the mobile station (18) will return to the original system (S1) with information which the communication system of the present invention uses to assist in the performance of future handoff attempts. Alternatively, with no handoff attempt made, the mobile station (18) monitors the destination system (S2), then returns to the original system (S1) with information used to assist in subsequent handoff attempts. The information returned from monitoring a CDMA system consists of results of a search for one or more pilots given at offsets in a specific list provided to the mobile station (18) by the base station (B1-B5) or a set of offsets based upon a predetermined search algorithm.

Claim
1. In a wireless communication system wherein a mobile station is moving from the coverage area of an origination system into the coverage area of a destination system and wherein a first attempt to acquire said destination system has failed, a method for avoiding lost communication with said mobile station, comprising the steps of: transmitting from said mobile station to said origination system a set of parameter data; receiving at said origination system said parameter data; generating at said origination system a search list in accordance with said parameter data; and attempting by said mobile station to acquire said destination system in accordance with said second search list.
2. The method of Claim 1 further comprising the step of measuring said parameter data at said mobile station.
3. The method of Claim 2 wherein said step of measuring said parameter data comprises measuring the signal energy of pilot signals of said destination system.
