Abstract:
1. A method of performing a Mobile Station (MS)-initiated scanning in an MS in a wireless mobile communication system having at least two frequency bands with different central frequencies, comprising: receiving from a serving Base Station (BS) a mobile neighbor advertisement message including information about available radio resources for each of the at least two frequency bands in each of the serving BS and neighbor BSs; determining whether to measure Carrier to Interference and Noise Ratios (CINRs) of pilot signals received from the serving BS and the neighbor BSs; transmitting a new scanning request message to the serving BS when the MS determines to measure the CINRs of the pilot signals; receiving a scanning response message including information about a predetermined frequency band corresponding to the available radio resources from the serving BS; and measuring the CINRs of the pilot signals received from the serving BS and the neighbor BSs in the predetermined frequency band, wherein, in the at least two frequency bands, a width of a first frequency band is narrower than a width of a second frequency band.
