INTERLEAVED DEEP AND SHALLOW SEARCH DURING FREQUENCY SCAN FOR RADIO RESOURCES

Abstract:

A cell acquisition technique for 5G and other RATs is provided in which shallow scans are interleaved with deep scans. In each shallow scan, a UE determines whether a synchronization signal is received with sufficient signal quality over one period for the synchronization signal. In each deep scan, the UE determines whether the synchronization signal is received with sufficient signal quality over multiple periods for the synchronization signal.
