Piotr Krysik ptrkrysik at gmail.comHi all, Gr-gsm's receiver currently relies on having SCH channel to keep synchronization. I want to remove that requirement so it'll be more usable in an SDR based burst transceiver for OsmocomBB. To do this it would be great to know how normal mobile phones maintain synchronization, something I don't know currently. Especially: 1. How often mobile station (MS) checks if the synchronization is kept? 2. What is usually used to check if synchronization is kept, especially when a MS is on a traffic channel? 3. How MS regains synchronization? Does it always do full FCCH+SCH scan? Thanks in advance, Piotr Krysik
