Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method in a terminal configured to receive transmissions from a telecommunications network. The method comprises receiving a transmission on an anchor carrier, the transmission including control information. The method comprises receiving, on the anchor carrier, an allocation of a non-anchor carrier for receiving data, wherein the non-anchor carrier has a frequency. The method comprises performing a cell search operation, comprising scanning a plurality of frequencies for a cell of the telecommunications network, and inhibiting the frequency of the non-anchor carrier in the scanning.
Claims15
A method in a terminal configured to receive transmissions from a telecommunications network, the method comprising:
- receiving a transmission on an anchor carrier, the transmission including control information;
- receiving, on the anchor carrier, an allocation of a non-anchor carrier for receiving data, wherein the non-anchor carrier has a frequency;
- and
- performing a cell search operation, comprising:
- scanning a plurality of frequencies for a cell of the telecommunications network;
- and
- inhibiting the frequency of the non-anchor carrier in the scanning.
A terminal for use in a telecommunications system, the terminal comprising:
- a receiver configured to:
- receive a transmission on an anchor carrier, the transmission including control information;
- receive, on the anchor carrier, an allocation of a non-anchor carrier for receiving data, wherein the non-anchor carrier has a frequency;
- a memory configured to store the frequency of the non-anchor carrier;
- and
- a cell search module configured to perform a cell search comprising:
- scanning a plurality of frequencies for a cell of the telecommunications network;
- and
- inhibiting the frequency of the non-anchor carrier in the scanning.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of computer-readable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by at least one processor of a terminal of a telecommunications network, cause the at least one processor to:
- receive a transmission on an anchor carrier, the transmission including control information;
- receive, on the anchor carrier, an allocation of a non-anchor carrier for receiving data, wherein the non-anchor carrier has a frequency;
- and
- perform a cell search operation, comprising:
- scanning a plurality of frequencies for a cell of the telecommunications network;
- and
- inhibiting the frequency of the non-anchor carrier in the scanning.
