Scan Mode - Baicells EG3015M-M30-HP Configuration Manual

3.3.2 Scan Mode

The Scan Mode determines which frequencies the CPE's routine scan of available
frequencies will cover. Scanning is a process of tuning to a specific frequency and
measuring the simplest signal quality [e.g., Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI)].
As part of the cell selection and reselection process, the CPE performs the scan first and
then selects a small number of candidate cells to go through the next step of measuring
and evaluating signals to select the best eNB that can serve it. The CPE frequently
(milliseconds) performs the scan to ensure it has the best possible connection to the
network. Refer to Figure 3-18.
