Abstract:
1. A method of performing a cell search for a cellular device comprising: providing a plurality of cell search parameter sets for a respective plurality of target searches; simultaneously performing cell searching operations for the target searches according to the cell search parameter sets to obtain signal processing results; and the cellular device connecting to at least one cell according to the signal processing results, wherein the cellular device comprises a stacked protocol having an upper layer in communications with a lower layer, and the method further comprises: the upper layer generating the cell search parameter sets; the lower layer utilizing the cell search parameter sets to simultaneously perform the cell searching operations related to the target searches; the lower layer generating at least one signal processing result for each of the respective target searches; and the upper layer causing the cellular device to camp on at least one cell corresponding to the at least one of the signal processing results.
