The invention relates to a method for synchronizing a mobile station to a base station, comprising in the base station a act of generating an information about a frequency of a channel which is used to transmit data about the identity of the base station and a act of transmitting the information from the base station to the mobile station.

Method for synchronizing a mobile station to a base station

Embodiments of the invention relate generally to radio communication devices and to a method for controlling frequency selection. In an embodiment of the invention, a radio communication device is provided. The radio communication device may include a first medium access control unit, a second medium access control unit, a common scheduling unit configured to control the first medium access control unit and the second medium access control unit, and a communication interface configured for frequency selection communication between the first medium access control unit and the second medium access control unit, wherein at least one frequency channel to be used is exchanged between the first medium access control unit and the second medium access control unit.

Radio communication device and method for controlling frequency selection

A radio communication device and a method for controlling frequency selection. In an embodiment of the invention, a radio communication device may include a first radio modem circuit, a first medium access control circuit assigned to the first radio modem circuit, a second radio modem circuit, a second medium access control circuit assigned to the second radio modem circuit, and a control interface circuit configured to control the first medium access control circuit and the second medium access control circuit.

A base station for wireless communication comprises a receiver and a processor. The receiver has a first operating state and a second operating state with different power consumption levels. In the first operating state, the receiver is configured to receive a signal. The processor is coupled to the receiver to switch the receiver between the first and second operating states.

Base station, method of operating a base station and wireless communication system

Allocation of a plurality of channels in a wireless network is described. The allocation process has each base station serving the sectors in the network scan each unused channel of the plurality of channels in its served sector. The signal quality of each scanned, unused channel is measured and sorted according to the measured signal quality. The quality-sorted unused channels are then ordered according to a statistical algorithm. An ordered list of available channels is generated according to results of the statistical algorithm ordering. This ordered list is broadcast to each access terminal (AT) registered with the base station. New communication between the base station and its registered ATs is then initiated using one of the unused channels in the ordered list.
