Abstract

A base station in a cellular wireless communications system uses one or more control algorithms to control a transmission pattern of a 1xRTT or DO discovery beacon. The transmission pattern enables access terminals using any one of multiple wake-up periods and wake-up offsets to discover all macrocell frequencies in a finite amount of time. In addition, for base stations allocating a single transmit chain to both 1xRTT and DO beacons, the transmission pattern enables a definite maximum discovery time for both 1xRTT and DO beacons for all access terminals entering the base station coverage.
