1. A method for system selection in a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving a synchronization channel;
decoding a synchronization channel message received on the synchronization channel;
receiving an acquisition assistance channel;
decoding an advanced services information message received on the acquisition assistance channel; and
selecting a system based on the advanced services information message,wherein receiving a synchronization channel and decoding a synchronization channel message are performed concurrently with receiving an acquisition assistance channel and decoding an advanced services information message.
