ABSTRACT:
A apparatus and method for using an asynchronous channel for mobile handoff in a communication system includes a first step of operating a mobile unit on a forward link channel and a reverse link channel, wherein the forward and reverse link channels are different. A next step includes dropping the forward link while maintaining a connection to the reverse link channel. A next step includes acquiring a pilot signal of a new forward link channel targeted for handoff while maintaining the previous reverse link channel. A next step includes measuring a pilot signal power level of the targeted channel. A next step includes re-acquiring the previous forward link. A next step includes reporting the pilot signal power level of the targeted channel on the re-acquired forward link.
