摘要

A system and method for heartbeat signal generation are provided. The method (30) includes determining (38) a communication condition and generating (42) heartbeat signals based on the determined communication condition. The system (20) includes a plurality of communication cells (26) and at least one communication device (28) configured to generate heartbeat signals. A rate of generating the heartbeat signals is based on one of (i) a service priority or user group and (ii) communication requirements for a network type for each of the plurality of communication cells.
