Abstract
In a method for use by a user equipment of a communication network system, a signal strength received from a target signal which is transmitted from an access network of the communication network system, is measured at a frequency of a reception filter of the user equipment, the frequency corresponding to a frequency channel number. The signal strength measured is compared with a predetermined threshold. In case the signal strength measured is below the predetermined threshold, the frequency channel number is incremented by S, S being an integer equal to or greater than 2.
