Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing inter-system hard handoff between communication systems 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 inter-system hard handoff. In the event that a hard handoff attempt is unsuccessful the mobile station will return to the original system 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 monitors the destination system then returns to the original system 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 by the base station or a set of offsets based upon a predetermined search algorithm.

16. A method of providing handoff of a mobile station from an origination system operating at a first frequency to a destination system operating at a second frequency, comprising:', 'sending from the origination system to the mobile station at least one PN offset associated with the destination system and a minimum total received pilot value;', 'sending from the origination system to the mobile station a message directing the mobile station to perform a hard handoff to the destination system;', 'receiving at the origination system from the mobile station a message based on a total received pilot value measured by the mobile station at the second frequency; and', 'sending to the mobile station at least one adjusted PN offset having a different value than said at least one PN offset based on said message
17. The method of claim 16 wherein said sending to the mobile station further comprises sending to the mobile station a set of additional parameters comprising instructions to the mobile station following a failed hard handoff attempt
18. The method of claim 16 wherein said message further comprises measurements from a search performed at the second frequency
19. A method of providing handoff of a mobile station from an origination system operating at a first frequency to a destination system operating at a second frequency, comprising:', 'sending from the origination system to the mobile station at least one PN offset associated with the destination system and a received power threshold;', 'sending from the origination system to the mobile station a message directing the mobile station to perform a hard handoff to the destination system;', 'receiving at the origination system from the mobile station a message based on a received power measured by the mobile station at the second frequency; and', 'sending to the mobile station at least one adjusted PN offset having a different value than said at least one PN offset based on said message.
20. The method of claim 19 wherein said sending to the mobile station further comprises sending to the mobile station a set of additional parameters comprising instructions to the mobile station following a failed hard handoff attempt.
21. The method of claim 19 wherein said message further comprises measurements from a search performed at the second frequency.
22. A mobile station apparatus comprising:', 'a receiver configured to tune to one of at least two system frequencies based on a frequency control signal; and', 'a control processor configured to generate the frequency control signal directing said receiver to tune to a first frequency associated with an origination system, to receive from the origination system at a first frequency at least one PN offset associated with a destination system and a minimum total received pilot value, to direct said receiver to tune to a second frequency associated with the destination system, to compare a pilot energy measured at the second frequency with the minimum total received pilot value to generate a comparison, to direct said receiver to tune back to the first frequency based on the comparison, and to generate a message for the origination system based on the comparison.
23. The mobile station apparatus of claim 22 wherein said message comprises the pilot energy measured at the second frequency.
24. The mobile station apparatus of claim 22 wherein said control processor is further configured to receive from the origination system a set of additional parameters comprising instructions to the mobile station following a failed hard handoff attempt.
25. The mobile station apparatus of claim 24 further comprising a searcher configured to perform a search at the second frequency based on commands from said control processor, and wherein said control processor directs said searcher to perform the search based on the instructions.
