Method for preventing reporting of duplicate pilots within a communication system
First Claim
1. A method within a communication device for preventing reporting of duplicate pilots within a communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
- communicating with one or more base stations;
monitoring and maintaining a pilot set including;
an active set comprising one or more active set pilots, a candidate set comprising one or more candidate set pilots, and a neighbor set comprising one or more neighbor set pilots;
allocating one or more pilots not found in the active set, the candidate set, or the neighbor set to a remaining set comprising one or more remaining set pilots;
providing a remaining set window around each remaining set pilot; and
eliminating a remaining set pilot when the remaining set window around the remaining set pilot overlaps any of the active, the candidate, or the neighbor set pilots.

Abstract
A method within a communication device (105) for preventing reporting of duplicate pilots within a communication system (100) is disclosed. The method includes communicating with one or more base stations (110); monitoring and maintaining a pilot set (200); allocating one or more pilots not found in the active set (205), the candidate set (210), or the neighbor set (215) to a remaining set (220) comprising one or more remaining set pilots; providing a remaining set window (225) around each remaining set pilot; and eliminating a remaining set pilot when the remaining set window (225) around the remaining set pilot overlaps any of the active, the candidate, or the neighbor set pilots.

6. A method within a communication system for preventing reporting of duplicate pilots, the method comprising the steps of:
-
communicating a user request for a network configuration of a communication device;
configuring a remaining set window to prevent an overlap of one or more remaining set pilots with one or more other pilots; and
broadcasting the remaining set window to the communication device. - View Dependent Claims (7)

-
communicating with one or more base stations;
monitoring and maintaining a pilot set including;
an active set comprising one or more active set pilots, a candidate set comprising one or more candidate set pilots, and a neighbor set comprising one or more neighbor set pilots;
allocating one or more pilots not found in the active set, the candidate set, or the neighbor set to a remaining set comprising one or more remaining set pilots;
providing a remaining set window around a remaining set pilot;
searching the remaining set window centered around the remaining set pilot;
comparing one or more multi-path components resulting from the search to the active set; and
eliminating a multi-path component when a duplicate is detected from the comparing step. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
