The recording step may be iteratively performed whenever the mobile station is in the multi-sector handoff state with the unique combination of the plurality of sectors thereby defining the at least one target sector that has actually been used by the mobile station in the multi-sector handoff state with the unique combination of the plurality of sectors. Upon the mobile station entering the multi-sector handoff state with the unique combination of the plurality of sectors, providing the handoff candidate list to the mobile station, wherein the handoff candidate list comprises the at least one target sector.
