A method and apparatus for merging pilot neighbor lists to account for false indications of signal strength due to topography in a code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system. The merged list is arrived at by first measuring pilot signal strengths and phase delays received by the mobile station and reporting this information to the mobile telephone switching office (60). A neighbor list union is generated (60) as the union of all predetermined neighbor lists corresponding to said received pilot signals. Each member, or base station, in the neighbor list union is operated on by a weighting function (75) which takes into account how often each member is included in each received pilot's predetermined neighbor list and the signal strength of such pilots. The relative weights are then sorted (95) and the highest ranking members form a Neighbor List Update Message (105), up to a predetermined number of members. <IMAGE> |
