Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and device for low power synchronization in wireless communication. The method waking an electronic device that communicates with a network from a low power mode to a working mode. The method may include transitioning from the low power mode to a pre-sync mode that includes a first phase having a first phase duration and a sleep phase having a sleep phase duration. A quality of synchronization signals transmitted on a first network carrier of the network during the first phase of the pre-sync mode can be detected, and the sleep phase duration of the sleep phase can be set based on at least the detected quality of the synchronization signals. During the pre-sync mode, the operation mode can transition from the first phase to the sleep phase when the sleep phase duration is greater than a sleep threshold.
