Abstract
Provided are apparatuses and methods for detecting neighboring cells in a communication network based on Transmission Parameter Signaling (TPS) bits received in a signaling frame. In one example, a signaling frame contains a field of TPS bits that indicate a type of the signaling frame. The type of the signaling frame may indicate the information carried in the signaling frame as information of a current cell or a neighboring cell. The signaling frame may further include information from a neighboring cell in the same network or a different network as the current cell. The signaling frame may further be arranged in a superframe in which the a plurality of frames are transmitted to a receiver in a certain sequence. Each frame in a superframe or a sequence of frames may include a parameter for defining the location of the frame.
