System and method to facilitate inter-frequency handoff of mobile terminals in a wireless communication network

摘要

A system and method for facilitating inter-frequency handoff of a mobile node ( 102 ) in a wireless communication network ( 100 ). The system and method permit a mobile node ( 102 ), equipped with a single receiver, to perform handoffs seamlessly from one infrastructure node ( 106 - 1 ) to another infrastructure node ( 106 - 2 ) without having to scan through multiple frequencies and without having to interrupt the active communication session.
