Abstract
A system, method, and apparatus for performing a handover for mobile station are presented. Where a mobile station in a preexisting cellular network approaches the service area of a next generation network, the serving base station transmits a cell neighbor list to the mobile station. The cell neighbor list includes nearby base stations within the preexisting cellular network as well as the next generation network. The mobile station can then measure the signal strength on the handover measurement channels of the cells in the next generation network. A method and associated apparatus for measuring the handover measurement channels of base stations in a next generation network using Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), are also presented.
