FIELD: physics, communications.
SUBSTANCE: invention is related to wireless communication. The embodiments are described in the context of transparent inter-frequency handover in a wireless network. A method is presented, which involves transmission of information on the power of a pilot signal sector of an access network for at least one frequency element in a message defined in the active group control protocol. Information relating to at least another frequency element is received in a message defined in the active group control protocol. The method also involves a step for determining whether there is need for handover from one frequency element to another, and can also involve transparent handover to another frequency element.
EFFECT: improved communication and increased efficiency of wireless communication systems.
