A method and apparatus for processing a frequency band by a wireless communication device to locate communication channels comprises detecting potential communication channels of the band; selecting of a sample of these detected potential channels; performing a synchronization test on the channels of the sample; and rejecting the frequency band if all of the synchronization tests fail. The frequency band may be subdivided into a plurality of ranges and a sample of detected potential channels selected for each range. The strongest detected potential channels may be selected for the sample for each range. |
