METHOD FOR SCANNING FREQUENCIES, TUNER, DVB-H RECEIVER COMPRISING THE TUNER, AND MOBILE PHONE COMPRISING THE DVB-H RECEIVER

摘要

Method for scanning frequencies of a network by a tuner, in order to determine available frequencies, the network comprising a plurality of coverage zones, a respective signal being emitted over each coverage zone of the network, at a respective frequency, the tuner being located in one of the coverage zones, referred to as the current coverage zone, a signal, referred to as the current signal, being emitted over the current coverage zone, the current signal conveying a plurality of services according to a time slicing method. The method comprising obtaining (100, 102) a group of frequency values of the frequencies of coverage zones of the network, and during time intervals separating the time slices dedicated to the at least one service intended to be received, the tuner scanning (104) all the frequency values of the group in order to determine available frequencies, whatever is the number of frequency values in the group.
