A system and method for enabling inter-frequency handover of mobile terminals in a wireless communications network

摘要

A system and method for facilitating inter-frequency handoff of a mobile node (102) in a wireless communication network (100). The system and method permit a mobile node (102), equipped with a single receiver, to perform handoffs seamlessly from one infrastructure node (106-1) to another infrastructure node (106-2) without having to scan through multiple frequencies and without having to interrupt the active communication session.
