METHOD FOR PATH-SEACHER SCHEDULING

摘要

The invention describes a method for adaptively scheduling activation of a path-searcher for a mobile terminal (1) operative in a telecommunication system. The mobile terminal (1) is capable of receiving multi-path signals (3, 4) originating from a scattered signal from a transmitter of at least one base station (2) in said system. The time lag between consecutive path-searcher activations is according to the method determined based on a value of the power delay profile discrepancy between two consecutive power delay profiles. The power delay profiles are derived from at least a subset of the powers of signals (3, 4) received at different delays during the path-searcher activation.
