Apparatus, and an associated method, for facilitating synchronization of a mobile station with a radio network in a GSM/EDGE-compatible, cellular communication system. The FCCH is monitored to obtain positional and frequen cy offset information. Once obtained, the information is used to obtain SCH bur st information broadcast upon an SCH. Monitoring of the FCCH continues while th e SCH burst information is detected and decoded. If additional FCCH control information is detected that has an associated quality metric value that is better than the quality metric value associated with earlier FCCH, control information, the newly-received information is used to detect the SCH burst information, abse nt successful decoding of the SCH burst information.
