ABSTRACT:
A cellular communication system hops both signalling channels and traffics channels in a common hopping sequence. To obtain system information from the frequency hopping signalling channel, a subscriber unit waits on a predetermined frequency, or carrier, until the frequency hopped signalling channel arrives at the predetermined frequency. Once arrived, the subscriber unit obtains synchronization information, and information related to the hopping sequence, from the signalling channel during the hop. The subscriber unit may then hop in tandem with the system, obtaining further system information in subsequent hops. The cellular communication system supports mobile assisted handoff (MAHO) by allowing a subscriber unit to measure signalling channel of neighboring cells in a similar manner, and using the measurements to assist in communication handoff from a source cell to a neighboring cell.
