A communication apparatus is provided. A processor is coupled to a transceiver and includes at least a first processor logic unit for initiating a cell selection or a cell reselection procedure to camp on a target cell and obtain a plurality of paging parameters carried in one or more system information messages transmitted by the target cell via the transceiver and a second processor logic unit for monitoring a paging identifier on a downlink control channel via the transceiver to check whether there is any forthcoming paging message before the paging parameters are obtained from the target cell.

Method for monitoring a paging message without paging lost and communication apparatuses utilizing the same

A handoff method. A mobile station calculates and records the strength of a pilot signal from a cell as reference strength if a handoff occurs in a first system. The mobile station further adjusts the reference strength according to the effect caused by forward and reverse links between a base station and the mobile station, and performs a handoff between the first and a second system if the strength of the pilot signal reaches the reference strength.
