Abstract:
1. A method of operation a code division multiple access communication system having a source base station and a destination base station where a specified mobile station establishes a connection with the source base station, the method comprising: initiating a handover of the connection involving specified mobile station to the destination base station; establishing a start position of a synchronization search window for the synchronization searcher of the destination station, the synchronization search window being used to detect a transmission of a specified mobile station received at the destination base station during a handover of a connection involving the specified mobile station from the source station to the destination base station; wherein the step of establishing the start position involves calculating a distance from a geographical coordinate position of the mobile station to a geographical coordinate position of the destination base station at a radio network control node code division multiple access communication system; and communicating the start time position from the radio network controller node to the destination base station.
