PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To group pilot signals and use such grouping for pilot strength reporting and set management in multi-carrier communication systems. SOLUTION: An access network may assign a group identifier (or "group ID") to each of the pilot signals associated with a sector, e.g., based on the coverage areas of the pilot signals, and transmit the pilot signals with the corresponding group IDs. PN offset may be used as the group ID. An access terminal may group the pilot signals received into one or more pilot groups in accordance with their group IDs, and select a representative pilot signal from each pilot group for pilot strength reporting. The access terminal may also use the pilot grouping to perform effective set management. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
