Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de recherche de cellule aptes à résoudre le problème lié, dans l'état de la technique, à la longueur d'un temps moyen requis par une recherche de cellule. Le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes : un terminal reçoit N listes de cellules voisines et des informations d'instruction de groupement envoyées par une station de base, les informations d'instruction de groupement indiquant une plage de valeurs de la distance entre au moins une cellule voisine dans chaque liste de cellules voisines et la station de base, ou indiquant une plage de valeurs de l'intensité de réception, pour un signal de référence envoyé par la station de base, de la ou des cellules voisines dans chaque liste de cellules voisines ; le terminal obtient une valeur de paramètre de groupement, la valeur de paramètre de groupement étant la valeur d'intensité de réception obtenue en mesurant le signal de référence, envoyé par la station de base, par le terminal, ou étant la distance entre le terminal et la station de base ; le terminal détermine une liste de cellules voisines cible dans les N listes de cellules voisines, d'après la valeur de paramètre de groupement et les informations d'instruction de groupement ; et le terminal recherche séparément une cellule voisine correspondant à un identificateur de cellule de la ou des cellules voisines comprises dans la liste de cellules voisines cible. L'invention réduit ainsi efficacement le temps moyen requis par une recherche de cellule.
