<p>A method for testing a band allocated to a non serving cell for a wireless OFDM communication systems, involving the step of:
- configuring the RF front end circuit to receive a wide band signal covering multiple candidates of bandwidths (BW i ) which are likely to be allocated to said non serving cell;
- computing the received OFDM symbols;
- entering into a first loop for successively testing two consecutive bandwidth candidates (BW i ), said testing comprising the steps of:
- computing a first non coherent power estimation ( RSRP_Excess i ) of the received signal on the basis of the reference signals (RS) existing in the non overlapping range of said two consecutive bandwidth (BWi);
- computing a second coherent power estimation ( RSRP_Excess i_ coh )of the received signal on the basis of the reference signals (RS) existing in the non overlapping range of said two consecutive bandwidth (BWi);
- comparing said first and said second estimation and determining and determining whether the tested bandwidth (BWi) is allocated to said tested non serving cell.</p> |
