Abstract
To facilitate inbound mobility for an access terminal, different virtual active sets are employed for different types of access points or cells (e.g., HNBs versus macro cells). In addition, different lists of permitted cells are maintained for these different types of access points or cells. Also, a frequency quality estimate for inter-frequency event triggering may be based on measurement of a single cell present in a virtual active set (e.g., a dedicated HNB virtual active set).
Claims54
A method of communication, comprising:
- receiving signals on a specified frequency at an access terminal;
- and
- maintaining, based on the received signals, a virtual active set that only includes cells present in a CELL_INFO_CSG_LIST.
An apparatus for communication, comprising:
- a receiver operable to receive signals on a specified frequency;
- and
- a controller operable to maintain, based on the received signals, a virtual active set that only includes cells present in a CELL_INFO_CSG_LIST.
An apparatus for communication, comprising:
- means for receiving signals on a specified frequency;
- and
- means for maintaining, based on the received signals, a virtual active set that only includes cells present in a CELL_INFO_CSG_LIST.
A computer-program product, comprising:
- computer-readable medium comprising code for causing a computer to:
- receive signals on a specified frequency at an access terminal;
- and
- maintain, based on the received signals, a virtual active set that only includes cells present in a CELL_INFO CSG_LIST.
