A method for minimizing search time and disruption of current service on an originating frequency during a frequency search excursion to a target frequency as part of an inter-frequency hard handoff between cells on different RF CDMA channels. In one embodiment, the method for minimizing search time

A method for minimizing search time and disruption of current service on an originating frequency during a frequency search excursion to a target frequency as part of an inter-frequency hard handoff between cells on different RF CDMA channels. In one embodiment, the method for minimizing search time includes tuning a selected mobile station to a target frequency and collecting chip samples, which are stored in a memory buffer, but not performing pilot searches and pilot strength measurements while on the target frequency; tuning the selected mobile station back to the original frequency and simultaneously resuming reception of forward link and transmission of reverse link and processing the samples collected on the target frequency to calculate pilot strength measurements from the target frequency. A method for minimizing disruption of service on the current frequency during the frequency search excursion to the target frequency includes increasing the amount of power allocated to other symbols of the frame impacted by the search excursion as a function of the search excursion time.
