Abstract

L’invention concerne un procédé qui permet à une station mobile de recevoir de manière fiable un message de téléappel dans un système à porteuses multiples. Un procédé de contrôle d'une station mobile en vue de recevoir des informations de configuration de porteuses (CCI) dans un système d'accès sans fil prenant en charge plusieurs porteuses consiste à: a) recevoir d'une première station de base une première CCI comportant des données relatives à la configuration des porteuses multiples; b) recevoir d'une seconde station de base une seconde CCI comportant des données relatives à la configuration des porteuses multiples; et c) déterminer s'il y a lieu d'effectuer une mise à jour de l'emplacement et une commutation de porteuses à l'aide de la première CCI et de la seconde CCI.
