Abstract
The invention relates to a method for identifying base stations of a time division cellular network in a mobile station. An object of the invention is to speed up the identification of new base stations. In accordance with the invention
- frame timing difference data for the neighbor base stations (301) and/or the broadcast control channel time slot data for the neighbor base stations are transmitted from the serving base station to the mobile station;
- reception times for the neighbor base stations'"'"' system data are determined in the mobile station on the basis of said frame timing differences and/or the broadcast control channel time slot data (302) and
- system data are read and neighbor base stations are identified (303). The invention is also directed to a mobile station applying the method.
