Abstract

An apparatus for performing a hand-off in a wireless communication system (100) comprises a plurality of fixed communication units (102) and a controller (104) coupled to the plurality of fixed communication units (102), and further comprises a portable communication unit (120). The fixed communication units receive (504) a common master synchronization signal from the controller, and receive (524) from the controller a request to monitor receivable transmissions from the portable communication unit (120) on the original channel. The fixed communication units perform (526) synchronous monitoring of the receivable transmissions from the portable communication unit (120) on the original channel, frame synchronization being established by the common master synchronization signal and maintained by maintaining bita synchronization while transmitting user data.
