Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 11:
12. An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus being a user equipment terminal (UE), comprising:
antenna circuitry;
a memory; and
processing circuitry coupled to the memory and operative to perform a cell activation process, the processing circuitry further operative to:
calculate a first automatic gain control (AGC) setting based on downlink signals received from a base station via the antenna circuitry, the downlink signals including a coarse beam reference signal, a fine beam reference signal, and a conversion indication that indicates a power conversion between the coarse beam reference signal and the fine beam reference signal;
calculate a second AGC setting based on the first AGC setting and the conversion indication;
perform a cell search using one of the first AGC setting and the second AGC setting; and
perform fine time-frequency tracking using the other of the first AGC setting and the second AGC setting.
