GSM base station identity code (BSIC) method for irat cell reselection to conserve UE battery power

摘要

A measurement reporting method reduces battery waste. A UE receives a list of GSM neighbor cells and measures the signal strength of each of the GSM cells in the list. The UE performs base station identity code (BSIC) confirm/reconfirm procedures only for the cells having a signal strength above a threshold.

1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
receiving, at a user equipment (UE) camped on a serving cell of a first radio access technology (RAT), a list of neighbor cells of a second RAT for inter-radio access technology (IRAT) cell reselection, the first RAT being different from the second RAT; measuring signal strength of each neighbor cell in the list; and performing base station identity code (BSIC) confirm/reconfirm procedures only for each neighbor cell in the list-having a signal strength-that is greater than a threshold indicated by the serving cell, the threshold being based at least in part on a predetermined margin value for the UE.
