摘要

An apparatus for measuring frequency search excursions in a system (100) of wireless communication, comprising: means for operating a receiver (204) on an original frequency; means for operating the receiver (204) on a target frequency during a search excursion period; means for measuring at least one signal attribute on the target frequency during the search excursion period; and means for increasing a target of normalized energy per bit (Eb / No) of a power control on the forward link original frequency based on duration of the search excursion; and means for processing said measurement.
