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.

A method for use by a user equipment of a communication network system, the method comprising:
- measuring a signal strength received from a target signal which is transmitted from an access network of the communication network system, at a frequency of a reception filter of the user equipment, the frequency corresponding to a frequency channel number;
- comparing the signal strength measured with a predetermined threshold;
- and
- in case the signal strength measured is below the predetermined threshold, incrementing the frequency channel number by S, S being an integer equal to or greater than 2.
A storage medium readable by a computer of a user equipment of a communication network system, the storage medium storing a program for causing the computer to execute:
- measuring a signal strength received from a target signal which is transmitted from an access network of the communication network system, at a frequency of a reception filter of the user equipment, the frequency corresponding to a frequency channel number;
- comparing the signal strength measured with a predetermined threshold;
- and
- in case the signal strength measured is below the predetermined threshold, incrementing the frequency channel number by S, S being an integer equal to or greater than 2.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform:
- measuring a signal strength received from a target signal which is transmitted from an access network of the communication network system, at a frequency of a reception filter, the frequency corresponding to a frequency channel number;
- comparing the signal strength measured with a predetermined threshold;
- and
- in case the signal strength measured is below the predetermined threshold, incrementing the frequency channel number by S, S being an integer equal to or greater than 2.
