Frequency Scanning Technique for a Cell Search Procedure

摘要

A technique for scanning multiple carrier frequencies during a cell search procedure is described. The cell search procedure involves for an investigated frequency multiple serially arranged processing steps until it will be determined that a network connection can be established on the investigated frequency. A method embodiment of this technique comprises performing a first processing step for an investigated first frequency, and in parallel with performing a second or further processing step for the first frequency, performing the first processing step for an investigated second frequency.
