Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and device for performing automatic gain control. The method comprises predicting an AGC setting to be used based on statistical data with respect to a plurality of previously stored AGC settings. The method also comprises receiving an interference signal during an idle time period using the predicted AGC setting. The method further comprises detecting received power of the interference signal. The method additionally comprises adjusting the predicted AGC setting based on a result of the detecting. With the method and device of the present invention, an initial AGC setting with high accuracy and usability can be obtained and the glitch effect can be overcome.
