Embodiments relate generally to a radio communication device, to a receiver controller of a radio communication device, and to a method for searching for a radio cell. In an embodiment, a method for searching for a radio cell is provided. The method may include scanning at least one frequency band of a first radio access technology, scanning at least one frequency band of a second radio access technology, wherein the at least one frequency band of the second radio access technology at least partially overlaps with the at least one frequency band of the first radio access technology, wherein at least one frequency sub-band of the first radio access technology is not scanned in the at least one frequency band of the second radio access technology.

Radio communication device, receiver controller of a radio communication device, methods for searching for a radio cell

In various embodiments, a method for measuring Received Signal Strength Indication is provided. The method may include carrying out a first partial Received Signal Strength Indication measurement for a plurality of mobile radio base stations, selecting at least one mobile radio base station out of the plurality of mobile radio base stations based on the result of the first partial Received Signal Strength Indication measurement for a second partial Received Signal Strength Indication measurement, and carrying out the second partial Received Signal Strength Indication measurement for the selected at least one mobile radio base station.
