APPARATUS AND METHOD OF INTER-RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY SEARCHING

摘要

Aspects of radio access technology searching include apparatus and methods for obtaining, by a user equipment, relative synchronization information between a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology, determining a time location of a pilot signal of the second radio access technology based on the relative synchronization information, and searching for the pilot signal of the second radio access technology using the determined time location. Other aspects of radio access technology searching include apparatus and methods of obtaining, by a network entity, relative synchronization information between a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology, and determining a measurement gap duration and measurement gap location based on the relative synchronization information so as to encompass a pilot of the second radio access technology.
