<p>The invention refers to supporting a cell search within a cellular communications network by evaluating a radio signal received from the network, the radio signal covering a certain frequency range composed of a plurality of frequency bands, wherein each band is associated to a certain carrier frequency, the method comprising generating (204) a set of digital signals associated to different carrier frequencies by demodulating the radio signal, evaluating (206) each of the set of digital signals in order to detect a presence of a recurring signal component with a known property, and selecting a corresponding cell, and synchronizing (210) to the carrier frequency associated to the selected cell.</p> |
