ABSTRACT:
A mobile station for measuring signal strength of a set of channels includes a synthesizer, a controller and a transceiver. During an idle period, the controller loads channel data of the set of channels contained into a memory block in the synthesizer. The synthesizer automatically selects the channel data for each channel stored in the memory block and generates a frequency signal corresponding to the selected channel data. The transceiver measures the signal strength data of the selected channel data and stores the signal strength data in a buffer. Once the signal strength data for the entire set of channels has been measured and stored in the buffer, the transceiver transmits the signal strength data to the controller. The set of channels may include a set of channels from a neighbor cell list or measurement order transmitted by the radio base station. The set of channels may also include a set of control channels that the mobile station measures at power-up.
