Abstract
A method for determining scanned objects is disclosed. According to the method, a Mobile Station (MS) receives an MOB_NBR_ADV message sent by a Base Station (BS). The MOB_NBR_ADV message contains BS IDs. The method includes the following steps: setting a BS Bitmap field in a scanning process message; and mapping the BS Bitmap field to the BS IDs contained in the MOB_NBR_ADV message and determining scanned objects according to the mapping. With the method, a minimum of one bit may be mapped to one of the BS IDs, and thus scanned objects are determined. In addition, an apparatus containing BS Bitmap units is disclosed. When scanned objects are determined with the method and apparatus, the length of a scanning process message can be shortened, thus improving the air-interface resource usage of the wideband radio access system to a great extent.
