FIELD: physics, communications. ^ SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to wireless communication. Identification of an access point to which an access terminal is to be handed over involves, in some aspects, identifying one access point of a set of access points which may have been detected by an access terminal. For example, an access terminal may receive a signal having an identified characteristic (e.g., a particular phase offset) from an access point. Each access point of a set of access points associated with the identified characteristic may attempt to decode a signal from the access terminal. The access point of the possible set to use for the handover operation may then be determined based on the signal received from the access terminal, if any, by each of the possible access points. ^ EFFECT: efficiency of handover in a wireless communication system using a large number of base stations. ^ 59 cl, 9 dwg |
