A method for performing an idle mode redistribution evaluation by a mobile device in a mobile communication network. The method comprises: determining a plurality of redistribution targets, each redistribution target corresponding to a different frequency and comprising at least one cell within which the mobile device can camp on in idle mode in the wireless communication network; identifying, using information received from within a particular cell of the wireless communication network, at least one redistribution factor, each redistribution factor corresponding to a redistribution target; determining whether to move to one of the redistribution targets based on the at least one redistribution factor; wherein a redistribution factor for a redistribution target indicates a proportion of mobile devices currently distributed to the particular cell which are intended to camp on a cell corresponding to that redistribution target; and wherein identifying at least one redistribution factor comprises determining, for each redistribution target, whether a redistribution factor is specified for a first cell corresponding to that redistribution target, and if so setting the redistribution factor for the first cell as the only redistribution factor associated with that redistribution target. Also described is a mobile device arranged to implement the method. |
