Abstract
In a cellular TDMA communication system, prior to the handoff of a mobile unit (225) from a serving base-site (200) to a target base-site, (205 or 210) , the target base-site (205 or 210) establishes frame synchronization with the serving base-site (200). In this effort, first, the serving base-site timing is determined. Next, a timing difference between the serving base-site timing and a target base-site timing is calculated. Thereafter, frame positions within the serving base-site TDMA traffic channels are identified as a function of the timing difference in order to establish frame synchronization. Armed with this information, target base-sites (205 and 210) can continuously monitor all serving base-site (200) traffic channels for respective RSSI values. Preserving this information in memory enables fast and accurate signal strength determinations upon handoff.
