Efficient WCDMA to GSM tune away pattern

摘要

A method for performing tune away in a wireless communication device includes: tuning away the wireless communication device from a first communication network for a first tune away period to receive a first page burst from a second communication network, and during the first tune away period sequentially tuning to a plurality of neighbor cells of the second communication network and performing signal quality measurements on signals received from each of the plurality of neighbor cells.

主权项

1. A wireless communication device, comprising:
a communication unit configured to transmit and receive according to a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology; and a control unit configured to control the communication unit to communicate with a first communication network according to the first radio access technology and a second communication network according to the second radio access technology, wherein the control unit is configured to control the communication unit to tune away from the first communication network for a first tune away period to receive a first page burst from the second communication network; and wherein the control unit, during an attempt to decode a page block from the first page burst within the first tune away period, is configured to control the communication unit to sequentially tune to a plurality of neighbor cells of the second communication network and perform signal quality measurements on signals received from each of the plurality of neighbor cells.
