ABSTRACT:
A method for scanning a TDMA channel by a mobile station in a wireless communications landscape is disclosed. A mobile station detects RF energy on a TDMA channel to detect activity in the detected RF energy. The mobile station maintains knowledge of previous activity on the channel. If activity is present on the channel, the mobile station performs inspection of the activity to determine whether the activity is activity of interest, wherein the activity is activity of interest based on a comparison of the activity with the previous activity. The mobile station aborts the inspection of the activity, if activity is not present on the channel and the mobile station aborts the inspection of the activity, if the determined activity is not activity of interest.
