<p>An access point is identified based on pilot signal information that appears on different frequencies. Here, a combination of one or more pilot PN spreading codes or one or more PN offsets on different frequencies are used to uniquely identify an access point. For example, upon receipt of a pilot measurement report, a network entity may uniquely identify an access point that transmitted the pilot signals based on at least one pilot PN spreading code or at least one PN offset and a plurality of frequencies identified by the report. Also, to facilitate acquiring this information, a network entity may request an access terminal to conduct an inter-frequency search for pilot signals. Also, an access terminal may maintain pilot information corresponding to access points in a network and use this information to autonomously conduct inter-frequency searches for pilot signals.</p> |
