Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for selecting carriers for low-cost Internet base station (LCIB) frequency-hopping pilot beacons. The LCIB receives channel-list message information associated with one or more macro-network coverage areas within a vicinity of the LCIB. The LCIB then uses the received channel-list message information to identify a set of macro-network carriers on which to transmit a frequency-hopping pilot beacon. The LCIB can then transmit its frequency-hopping pilot beacon on each of the carriers in the identified set.
