Abstract: The wireless communication methods and devices are provided. The wireless communication method includes the steps of determining whether uplink data for an uplink transmission includes control messages; and forbidding a Tx power throttling procedure from being performed when the uplink data includes the control messages. When the uplink data does not include the control message the transmission power throttling procedure is performed.

Abstract: A communication apparatus is provided. A processor is coupled to a transceiver and includes at least a first processor logic unit for initiating a cell selection or a cell reselection procedure to camp on a target cell and obtain a plurality of paging parameters carried in one or more system information messages transmitted by the target cell via the transceiver and a second processor logic unit for monitoring a paging identifier on a downlink control channel via the transceiver to check whether there is any forthcoming paging message before the paging parameters are obtained from the target cell.

Abstract: A handoff method. A mobile station calculates and records the strength of a pilot signal from a cell as reference strength if a handoff occurs in a first system. The mobile station further adjusts the reference strength according to the effect caused by forward and reverse links between a base station and the mobile station, and performs a handoff between the first and a second system if the strength of the pilot signal reaches the reference strength.
