Abstract

A cell search method is described comprising searching for a frequency at which a communication network operates a radio cell within a predetermined set of candidate frequencies; determining a frequency at which a communication network operates a radio cell within the set of candidate frequencies; excluding a sub-set with a predetermined size of frequencies around the determined frequency from the set of candidate frequencies to generate an updated set of candidate frequencies; and continuing to search for a further frequency at which a communication network operates a radio cell within the updated set of candidate frequencies.
