Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A communication apparatus is provided. The communication apparatus includes a radio transceiver module and a processor. The processor receives a neighbor cell advertisement message from a serving base station via the radio transceiver module and scans neighbor base stations according to information carried in the neighbor cell advertisement message to obtain a measurement result. The neighbor base stations are scanned in a prioritized order.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A communication apparatus, comprising: a radio transceiver module; and a processor, responsive to a signal power of a serving base station falling below a first predetermined threshold, receiving a neighbor cell message from the serving base station and determine a measurement result based on the information carried in the received neighbor cell message, wherein the neighbor base stations are prioritized by the processor in a prioritized order, the prior…
