Abstract

Based on a method used in a wireless communication system (for example WiMAX), wherein a possible successful transmission power (C) for detecting a transmitter by a receiver is calculated, in order to achieve a faster detection of the transmitter by the receiver, a method is proposed, wherein from the calculated transmission power (C) a permissible maximum (D) and a permissible minimum (E) transmission power are determined. At a starting time, a transmission power (G) is set, which is below the calculated transmission power (C) and above the determined permissible minimum transmission power (E). The transmission power is then increased incrementally (F) until the determined permissible maximum transmission power (D) is reached. Upon reaching the determined permissible maximum transmission power (D), the transmission power is then increased incrementally (F) from the determined permissible minimum transmission power (E) until the determined permissible maximum transmission power (D) is reached again and is continued, until the transmitter is detected by the receiver or until further steps are initiated.
