ABSTRACT:
A wireless communication device (100) continues to measure pilot signal strengths while in the System Access State (220) and provides at least one of the current measured pilot signal strengths to the base station in each access probe (210). A base station (102) receives the current information on pilot signal strengths (305; 320) and the system specifies the base stations for soft handoff according to the current measured pilot signal strengths (315; 340).
