5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the enhancing includes frequency compensating the downlink scanning signal stream in dependence on an amount of a Doppler shift of the downlink scanning signal stream and combining the frequency compensated scanning signal stream with a serving signal stream from a serving base station.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method includes determining, from the processing of the aggregate signal stream, a Doppler shifted center frequency of a downlink scanning signal stream received from the scanning base station; and enhancing, in dependence on the Doppler shifted center frequency, the downlink scanning signal stream associated to the scanning base station.
