Abstract
Systems and methods for network entry management are provided. The system includes a base station and a mobile station. The base station broadcasts synchronization channels (SCH) on multiple carriers, where the SCH may be hierarchical synchronization channel composed of primary synchronization channel (P-SCH) and secondary synchronization channel (S-SCH) which are used for timing, frequency synchronization, cell identification, etc. The carriers include at least a first carrier including at least one P-SCH and do not include a S-SCH. The mobile station scans the first carrier, and checks whether a P-SCH is broadcasted on the first carrier. If a P-SCH is broadcasted on the first carrier, the mobile station checks whether an S-SCH is broadcasted on the first carrier. If no S-SCH is broadcasted on the first carrier, the mobile station scans for a second carrier broadcasted by the base station.
