Abstract
Method for synchronising mobile equipment in a CDMA system comprising a plurality of base stations () for communicating with the mobile equipment (). The base stations () are mutually synchronised, and each base station () has a synchronisation channel transmit timing offset within a synchronisation time slot (). The method comprises the step of synchronising the mobile equipment () by matching a synchronisation code in the synchronisation time slot (). Also the following steps are executed by the method: scanning a base radio signal () during at least one frame () for detecting a signal portion with predetermined characteristics, such as received power peaks (), the signal portion not being the synchronisation code; deriving timing information associated with the CDMA system from the signal portion; and starting the synchronisation step of the mobile equipment () using the timing information.
