Method and apparatus for constructing a temporary list of neighboring base stations in a wireless communication device
First Claim
1. A method for constructing a temporary list of neighboring base station parameters in a wireless communication device, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a neighbor list message from a first base station, said neighbor list message including a respective base station configuration parameter for each of a plurality of base stations, said plurality of base stations including a second base station;
constructing a neighbor list table in response to said neighbor list message, said neighbor list table including one record for each of said plurality of base stations, each record including said respective base station configuration parameter;
determining whether a second neighbor list message has been received from said second base station; and
replacing said record for said second base station with a corresponding record for said first base station if said second neighbor list message is not received from said second base station.

Abstract
The wireless communication device receives a neighbor list message from a first base station. The neighbor list message includes a respective base station configuration parameter for each of a plurality of base stations. In response to the neighbor list message, the wireless communication device constructs a neighbor list table, including one record for each of the plurality of base stations, with each record including their respective base station configuration parameter. After handing off to a second base station, the wireless communication device replaces the record for the second base station with a corresponding record for the first base station. The wireless communication device then may change the respective base station configuration parameter for at least one of the records of the plurality of base stations in the neighbor list table to match the base station configuration parameter of the second base station.

5. A circuit for constructing a temporary list of neighboring base station parameters in a wireless communication device, the circuit comprising:
-
a receiver for receiving a neighbor list message from a first base station, said neighbor list message including a respective base station configuration parameter for each of a plurality of base stations, said plurality of base stations including a second base station; and a control processor, coupled to said receiver, for constructing a neighbor list table in response to said neighbor list message, said neighbor list table including one record for each of said plurality of base stations, each record including said respective base station configuration parameter; said control processor further for determining whether said receiver has received a second neighbor list message from said second base station and for replacing said record for said second base station with a corresponding record for said first base station after determining that said receiver did not receive said second neighbor list message from said second base station. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
