Patent ID: 8625572

Claim:
A method, comprising: receiving, at a terminal apparatus, a transmission from a network, wherein the transmission includes global navigation satellite system time-cell time relation information, and wherein the transmission includes a network synchronization status flag; performing, at the terminal apparatus, based on the network synchronization status flag, a determination of a synchronization status of the network from the transmission, wherein the transmission comprises assistance data, and wherein the synchronization status is that cells within the network are synchronized; maintaining in a first cell within the network, at the terminal apparatus using said global navigation satellite system time-cell time relation information, accurate time based on the synchronization status of the network; performing in the first cell within the network, at the terminal apparatus using said accurate time maintained in said first cell, global navigation satellite system satellite signal quick find; maintaining in a second cell within the network, at the terminal apparatus with move of the terminal apparatus from the first cell within the network to the second cell within the network, using said global navigation satellite system time-cell time relation information accurate time based on the synchronization status of the network; and performing in the second cell within the network, at the terminal apparatus using said accurate time maintained in said second cell, global navigation satellite system satellite signal quick find.
