ABSTRACT:
A method for a radio frequency communication unit (110) (CU) to hand off from a losing node (120) to an alternate node (122) estimates one or more alternate node uplink times (240) and alternate node uplink frequencies (242), which the alternate node uplink signal comprises. During handoff, the CU (110) ceases communications with the losing node (120) and immediately begins communications with the alternate node (122) using the uplink time and uplink frequency. A CU apparatus (300) uses a processor (302) for carrying out calculations necessary for estimating the alternate node uplink time and frequency. Information necessary for the calculations, such as a downlink signal time-of-arrival and Doppler offset, are collected by a CU receiver (306). The CU receiver (306) and a CU transmitter (304) are used to support downlink signals (142) and uplink signals (140), respectively, between the CU (110) and a node (120, 122).
