Abstract
A method and device for providing reference information for starting scanning a different radio access network to a terminal in a boundary area is provided. A receiver supporting a plurality of access systems includes a receiving circuit for receiving a scanning threshold from a transmitter, a first measuring module for measuring channel quality of a serving cell, and a second measuring module for starting scanning a neighboring cell that is a different radio access network when channel quality of the serving cell is less than the channel quality threshold. The receiver may further include a handover module for performing handover to the neighboring cell when the channel quality of the neighboring cell measured by the second measuring module is greater than that of the serving cell.
