First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for searching for a radio cell comprising:
- determining, for each of a plurality of frequencies, a reception strength value indicating the reception strength within a first bandwidth around the frequency, wherein the first bandwidth is smaller than a second bandwidth with which a radio cell to be searched is operated;
determining, based on the determined reception strength values, a spectral position for a radio cell at which a cell search is to be carried out; and
carrying out a cell search at the determined spectral position.

19. A mobile terminal comprising:
-
a first determiner, configured to determine, for each of a plurality of frequencies, a reception strength value indicating the reception strength within a first bandwidth around the frequency, wherein the first bandwidth is smaller than a second bandwidth with which a radio cell to be searched is operated; a second determiner, configured to determine, based on the determined reception strength values, a spectral position for a radio cell at which a cell search is to be carried out; and a cell searcher, configured to carry out a cell search at the determined spectral position.
