Abstract
A method and apparatus implementing the method for controlling the use of idle frames by a mobile station operating in a wireless telecommunication network. A control unit of the mobile station comprises the information on activities that can be carried out during idle frames in accordance with the mobile station's operating mode. At each idle frame, the mobile station checks said operating mode and activities to be carried out and of the activities to be carried out, determines the one that has the highest priority on the basis of said operating mode. For example, if necessary, the number of idle frames used for synchronisation burst search can be arranged as high as possible and, thus, enhance synchronisation.
