Abstract
A wireless access node to add different channel pseudo-noise (PN) codes of different carriers to a neighbor list for a wireless communication device communicating over a first carrier frequency provided by the wireless access node comprises a processing system. The processing system is configured to start a loading timer if first communication loading on a second carrier frequency of the wireless access node falls below a first loading threshold, and during the loading timer, compare second communication loading on hand down carriers of a highest priority neighbor to a second loading threshold, and if the second communication loading on at least one of the hand down carriers of the highest priority neighbor falls below the second loading threshold during the loading timer, then add a different channel PN code of the second carrier frequency of the wireless access node to the neighbor list for the wireless communication device.
