CELL DETECTION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- periodically measuring a received signal strength indication of a broadcast control channel received from a current serving cell to detect a presence of a co-channel broadcast control channel interference; and
in response to determining the presence of the co-channel broadcast control channel interference, initiating a synchronization channel re-read based upon one or more co-channel interference criteria;
wherein the synchronization channel re-read is adapted to determine if one or more neighbouring cells that are broadcasting on the same frequency as the broadcast control channel frequency of the current serving cell would be better than the current serving cell.

Abstract
Apparatus, a method and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including a set of computer-readable instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processor causes performance of operations, including periodically measure a received signal strength indication of a broadcast control channel received from a current serving cell to detect a presence of a co-channel broadcast control channel interference. In response to determining the presence of the co-channel broadcast control channel interference, a synchronization channel re-read based upon one or more co-channel interference criteria is initiated. The synchronization channel re-read is adapted to determine if one or more neighbouring cells that are broadcasting on the same frequency as the broadcast control channel frequency of the current serving cell would be better than the current serving cell.

5. An apparatus comprising a processing system arranged to cause the apparatus to at least:
-
periodically measure a received signal strength indication of a broadcast control channel received from a current serving cell to detect a presence of a co-channel broadcast control channel interference; and in response to determining the presence of the co-channel broadcast control channel interference, initiate a synchronization channel re-read based upon one or more co-channel interference criteria; wherein the synchronization channel re-read is adapted to determine if one or more neighbouring cells that are broadcasting on the same frequency as the broadcast control channel frequency of the current serving cell would be better than the current serving cell. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of computer-readable instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
-
periodically measure a received signal strength indication of a broadcast control channel received from a current serving cell to detect a presence of a co-channel broadcast control channel interference; and in response to determining the presence of the co-channel broadcast control channel interference, initiate a synchronization channel re-read based upon one or more co-channel interference criteria; wherein the synchronization channel re-read is adapted to determine if one or more neighbouring cells that are broadcasting on the same frequency as the broadcast control channel frequency of the current serving cell would be better than the current serving cell. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
