Abstract:
A method for synchronization with a transmitter of a mobile terminal having a list of candidate carriers comprising the steps of:selecting a first carrier from the list of candidate carriers;generating a power profile of the first carrier based on readings of a first number of multiframes;comparing the power profile of the first carrier to a first threshold criteria;synchronizing to the first carrier if the power profile of the first carrier satisfies the first threshold criteria;selecting a second carrier from the list of candidate carriers if the power profile of the first carrier does not satisfy the first threshold criteria;generating a power profile of the second carrier based on readings of a second number of multiframes, the second number being greater than the first number;comparing the power profile of the second carrier to a second threshold criteria; andsynchronizing to the second carrier if the power profile of the second carrier satisfies the second threshold criteria.
