Claim Text:
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising: receiving a signal from a neighboring cell; performing a first measurement of a minimum bandwidth of the received signal for a measurement region at a center or zero shift, wherein the measurement region is based on the Nyquist frequency (2N+1), N corresponding to a number of frequency shifts, and wherein the minimum bandwidth corresponds to a minimum of an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system bandwidth for neighboring cell measurements; shifting the measurement region of the signal based on a frequency offset; performing a second measurement of the minimum bandwidth of the shifted measurement region; rotating the measurement region of the signal alternatively from a positive frequency offset to a negative frequency offset subsequent to performing the second measurement; performing a third measurement of the minimum bandwidth of the rotated measurement region; and estimating the neighboring cell power over an entire bandwidth of the neighboring cell based at least in part on the first measurement, second measurement, and third measurement.
