Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A femto cell neighbor list message for a wireless communication system that includes the frequencies and pseudonoise offsets reserved for macro cells and femto cells is disclosed. When the user equipment discovers the femto cell, the user equipment can read the Femto Cell Identification Message and present the identification information to the subscriber. In absence of this knowledge, a manual femto cell search must search all frequencies and all pseudonoise offsets resulting in lengthy search times.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for neighbor list frequency switching in a terminal in a wireless communication system comprising: receiving a broadcast neighbor list message, the broadcast neighbor list message including femto cell information and macro cell information, the femto cell information including a spectrum of dedicated femto cell frequencies reserved for closed subscriber group (CSG) femto cell deployments, the macro cell information including macro cell frequencies;…
