Abstract: A method of operating a radio receiver arranged to receive a plurality of data symbols transmitted on one of a predetermined set of frequencies. The method comprises receiving a first set of data symbols at a first transmission frequency. The first set of data symbols comprises a message indicating a first frequency sub-set. A synthesiser is calibrated for the one or more frequencies in the first frequency sub-set. A second set of data symbols transmitted on at least one of said one or more frequencies from the first sub-set is received. It is determined from the second set of data symbols whether a network quality metric exceeds a threshold. The synthesiser is calibrated for one or more frequencies in a second frequency sub-set when the network quality metric exceeds the threshold. The second sub-set comprises frequencies that are not in the first sub-set.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, computer program product, and method for controlling output power levels of over-the-air (OTA) transmission signals from a terminal operable on a network. At least one parameter used by the terminal in establishing its proper RF output power level is provided by the network in a channel assignment message(s). The terminal can then define the proper output power level in changing circumstances, such as where the common broadcast channel is mapped on a different band than traffic channels, in connection with handover or DTM operations, etc. Further, the parameter is provided via the channel assignment message(s) in connection with DTM operation after handover, where the common broadcast channel is mapped on the same frequency band as the traffic channel. When the proper output power level has been defined using the parameter received from the channel assignment message, the terminal can communicate information to the network using the proper output power level.
