<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To resolve confusion resulting from assigning the same identifier to multiple nodes. <P>SOLUTION: A network may provide a time gap during which an access terminal may temporarily cease monitoring transmissions from a source node so that the access terminal may acquire a unique identifier from a target node. An access terminal may commence handover operations at a target node after determining whether the access terminal is allowed to access the target node. A source node may prepare several target nodes for potential handover in the event confusion is detected or likely. The source node may send information relating to the preparation of the potential target nodes to the access terminal, and thereby the access terminal initiates handover at that target node. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
