A cell reselection parameter is transmitted on one carrier frequency for a defined period of time to cause access terminals operating on that carrier frequency to more aggressively search for access points on at least one other carrier frequency. For example, a femto cell operating on one carrier frequency may transmit a broadcast channel including a cell reselection parameter such as Sintersearch on another carrier frequency that is used by a macro cell. Here, the value of the cell reselection parameter (e.g., Sintersearch) is chosen so that the access terminals will more aggressively conduct inter-frequency searches. In addition, the cell reselection parameter is transmitted for a period of time that ensures that a nearby access terminal will receive the parameter during its wakeup interval.
