METHOD FOR LOCATING A CHANNEL IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method for locating a carrier (220) includes the steps of tuning to a first anticipated carrier location (240) within a first subband division (216), attempting to locate the carrier (220) at the first anticipated carrier location (240) within the first subband division (216), tuning to a second anticipated carrier location (223) within a second subband division (217) if failing to locate the carrier in the first subband division (216), and attempting to locate the carrier (220) at the second anticipated carrier location (223) within the second subband divisions (217).
