Mobile station and method for monitoring of neighboring cells during reception of code division multiple access (CDMA) paging in a cellular mobile communications network

摘要

A mobile station and method for monitoring of neighboring cells during reception of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) paging in a cellular mobile communications system. During the reception of the paging information in a serving cell of a CDMA system, at least a subset of the rake fingers in the rake receiver of the mobile station which are not used for the reception of the paging information is used for monitoring of neighboring cells. During at least a portion of the paging reception period when paging information is not being received, at least a portion of the receiver system is used for the monitoring of neighboring cells.
