Abstract
Apparatus and methods are described herein for detecting pilot signals. An access terminal determines whether each pilot signal in its active set can be tracked. If not, the access terminal adjusts the search window center associated with any untracked pilot to a position that allows tracking. In some aspects, a known search window center of a tracked member of a same pilot group may be used.
