ENHANCED GSM CELL ACQUISITION

摘要

A method for wireless communication operable at a mobile station is described. The mobile station performs a power scan in a plurality of bands to determine a scan list including a plurality of radio frequency (RF) channels. The mobile station further performs an acquisition scan to identify one or more public land mobile networks (PLMNs) in accordance with the scan list. The mobile station further adjusts the number of RF channels in the scan list based on a result of the acquisition scan for finding a public land mobile network (PLMN) for providing service to the mobile station.
