A method and apparatus implementing the method for controlling the use of idle frames by a mobile station operating in a wireless telecommunication network. A control unit of the mobile station comprises the information on activities that can be carried out during idle frames in accordance with the mobile station's operating mode. At each idle frame, the mobile station checks said operating mode and activities to be carried out and of the activities to be carried out, determines the one that has the highest priority on the basis of said operating mode. For example, if necessary, the number of idle frames used for synchronisation burst search can be arranged as high as possible and, thus, enhance synchronisation.

1. A method for controlling the use of idle frames by a mobile station in a wireless telecommunication network, the method comprising:dividing data transmission based on time division multiple access into frames containing a fixed number of timeslots, and the frames into timeslots containing bursts between the mobile station and a base transceiver station, wherein a selected number of successive frames form a mobile station's multiframe, which substantially comprises traffic frames intended for the transmission of traffic data, as well as idle frames intended for activities relating to the measurements of a radio path between the mobile station and the base transceiver station and the transmission of the measurement results; characterised by checking the mobile station activities relating to the measurements of the radio path and the transmission of the measurement results that are to be carried out during an idle frame, as well as the mobile station's operating mode; determining the priority of the activities in accordance with the mobile station's operating mode; carrying out the activity having the highest priority during an idle frame by the mobile station.
