Abstract
For example, a communication device may be provided comprising an oscillator configured to generate a reference signal; an accuracy determiner configured to determine information about an accuracy of a frequency of the reference signal; a signal detector configured to detect the presence of a radio signal; and a controller configured to control the signal detector based on the information.
Claims24
A communication device comprising:
- an oscillator configured to generate a reference signal;
- an accuracy determiner configured to determine information about an accuracy of a frequency of the reference signal;
- a signal detector configured to detect the presence of a radio signal;
- a controller configured to control the signal detector based on the information,
- wherein the controller is configured to determine a number of radio frequencies based on the information, to determine a set of radio frequencies having the determined number and to control the signal detector to detect, for each radio frequency of the set of radio frequencies, whether the radio signal is present at the radio frequency.
