| 摘要 |
A cell acquisition method and mobile terminal is provided for reducing cell acquisition time and power consumption in a communication system. A cell acquisition method of the present invention classifies frequencies into at least one frequency group each having a power level range defined by multilevel threshold values and acquires a cell by performing a cell acquisition process to the at least one frequency group in stepwise manner. The cell acquisition method and mobile terminal of the present invention enables the mobile terminal to stop the cell acquisition process, when a cell is acquired in one of multiple frequency groups, to the rest frequency groups and camps on the acquired cell, thereby reducing the cell acquisition time and power consumption. |
