Method for synchronization in a mobile radio terminal
First Claim
1. A method for synchronizing measurements in a mobile communication apparatus having a first active radio access means adapted to communicate according to a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second passive radio access means adapted to communicate according to a second RAT, comprising:
- generating a time reference common to a first and the second radio access means;
obtaining at least one time schedule, time schedule indicating a time gap during which the second radio access means is allowed to be active; and
determining an activation time of the time schedule based on the common time reference.

Abstract
A method for synchronizing measurements in a mobile communication apparatus having a first active radio access means (100) adapted to communicate according to a first radio access technology (RAT) and at least a second passive radio access means (200) adapted to communicate according to a second RAT. A time reference common to the first and the second access means (100) is generated. At least one time schedule is obtained, said schedule indicating at least one time gap wherein the second access means (200) is allowed to be active. The activation time of the schedule is based on the common time reference. An arrangement adapted to generate the common time reference and the time schedule is also disclosed.

16. An arrangement for synchronizing measurements in a mobile communication apparatus, comprising:
-
a first active radio access means comprising a first transceiver means for communicating with a first communication network, the first transceiver means being adapted to communicate according to a first radio access technology;
a second passive radio access means comprising a second transceiver means for communicating with a second communication network, the second transceiver means being adapted to communicate according to a second radio access technology;
the arrangement further comprising a time reference generating means for generating a time reference common to the first and the second radio access means;
a time schedule generating means for obtaining at least one time schedule, time schedule indicating at least one time gap, during which the second radio access means is allowed to be active; and
the time schedule generating means being adapted to determine the activation time of the schedule based on the common time reference. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
