Disclosed are systems and methods for regulating system reselections by idle-mode mobile devices. In one aspect, a femtocell may be configured to reduce frequency of its reselection beacon, which reduces probability that a fast moving mobile device will detect the reselection beacon and reselect to that femtocell. This aspect may also delay femtocell reselection for slow moving mobile devices. In another aspect, a macrocell may slow down system reselection by adjusting cell reselection parameters used by mobile devices to determine the time needed to evaluate cell reselection criteria. Yet in another aspect, a macrocell may instruct a collocated femtocell to decrease its effective coverage area to avoid premature reselection by fast moving mobile devices. Yet in another aspect, a femtocell may use power boosting techniques to increase its reselection radius. |
