A method and computer program product for acquiring service in a border area that is serviced by two communications systems that share the same frequencies. The method includes the steps of scanning a predetermined range of control (206) channels in order to determine (208) the first and second strongest control channels. A determination is then made as to whether a first system identification code (SID) associated with a signal received over the strongest control channel is acceptable (236). This can be accomplished, for example, by comparing the first SID to a list of acceptable SIDs. Conventionally, if the SID associated with a signal received over the strongest control channel is not acceptable, the system acquisition process will be aborted. However, now, the probability of acquiring service is increased because a determination is made whether a SID associated with the signal received over the second strongest control channel is acceptable (228), if the first SID was found not to be acceptable. Similarly, the second strongest paging channel can be used to increase the probability of acquiring service.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un progiciel informatique destinés à acquérir un service dans une zone frontière desservie par deux systèmes de communications partageant les mêmes fréquences. Le procédé consiste à balayer une plage de canaux de commande (206) afin de déterminer (208) les deux canaux de commande les plus puissants, puis à déterminer si un premier un code d'identification de système (SID) associé à un signal reçu par le canal de commande le plus puissante est acceptable (236). Cette opération peut, par exemple, s'effectuer par comparaison du premier SID avec une liste de SID acceptables. Généralement, si un SID associé à un signal reçu par le canal de commande le plus puissant n'est pas acceptable, le processus d'acquisition du système sera interrompu. Dans la présente invention, cependant, la probabilité d'acquérir un service est augmentée parce qu'il a été déterminé si un SID associé au signal reçu par le second canal de commande le plus puissant est acceptable (228) ou non, si le premier SID n'a pas été jugé acceptable. De la même manière, le second canal de recherche le plus puissant peut être utilisé pour augmenter la probabilité d'acquérir un service.
