Patent ID: 8532605

Claim:
A radio communication device, comprising: a receiver configured to receive radio signals; a measurement circuit configured to measure the receiving quality of received radio signals; a determination circuit configured to determine a first frequency bandwidth using at least one of the following mechanisms: a received bandwidth signaling message; implicit signaling; and blind decoding; and a controller configured to control the measurement circuit such that a first measurement is carried out using the determined first frequency bandwidth, thereby determining a first receiving quality; wherein the determination circuit is further configured to determine a second frequency bandwidth using at least one of the following mechanisms: a received bandwidth signaling message; implicit signaling; and blind decoding; and wherein the controller is further configured to control the measurement circuit such that: a second measurement is carried out using the determined second frequency bandwidth, if the determined first receiving quality fulfills a first receiving quality criterion, wherein the second frequency bandwidth is larger than the first frequency bandwidth, thereby determining a second receiving quality, the first measurement is carried out for a plurality of carrier frequencies such that each first measurement is carried out using the first frequency bandwidth around the respective carrier frequency of the plurality of carrier frequencies, the second measurement is carried out for a plurality of frequency band portions, it is determined how many frequency band portions fulfill a predefined frequency band portion receiving quality criterion, and the radio cell from which the radio signals have been received is evaluated based on how many frequency band portions fulfill the predefined frequency band portion receiving quality criterion.
