TUNE-AWAY AND CROSS PAGING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A method to process wireless signal components for a mobile wireless access broadband service, comprising:
- generating a schedule that describes frame structure timing of a first communications channel;
determining timing differences with at least a second communications channel in accordance with the schedule; and
generating a correction time factor between the first communications channel and the second communications channel to facilitate handing off communications between the channels.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for processing wireless signal components for a mobile wireless access broadband service. This can include processes for measuring signal strength of an alternative frequency by tuning away from an existing frequency associated with an existing communications path. Such processes allow determining if the alternative frequency supports a subsequent communications path in a mobile broadband wireless application. Upon the determination, the process can automatically select the subsequent communications path based in part on the measured signal strength.
