<p>A method (200) of performing Automatic Gain Control, or AGC, in a receiver (120) of a device (106) is provided. The device is served on a serving carrier (102) of a multi-carrier communication network (100). Measurement gaps (220; 226) are scheduled on the serving carrier (102) for inter-carrier measurements on a non-serving carrier (104). The method comprises the step (202) of determining a first time interval (252; 254; 258; 260), in which a predefined signal portion (240; 244; 246) is transmitted on the non-serving carrier (104); the step (204) of estimating, for the first time interval (252; 254; 258; 260), received signal power on the non-serving carrier (104); the step (206) of computing a receiver gain based on the estimate signal power; the step (208) of performing, over a second time interval (250; 256; 262; 264), an inter-carrier measurement on the non-serving carrier (140); and the step (210) of applying the receiver gain to the receiver (120) after the second time interval (250; 256; 262; 264).</p> |
