<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for efficient network selection by wireless terminals. <P>SOLUTION: A terminal may store coverage information for previously detected wireless networks, cell information for previously detected cells in wireless networks, usage information for previously accessed wireless networks, availability information for previously detected wireless networks, almanac information for cells in wireless networks (e.g., information on cells available at different locations and information for acquiring the cells), and/or other information that may be useful for network selection. The terminal may select a wireless network to attempt acquisition on the basis of the stored coverage information and the current location of the terminal, the stored cell information, and information for the current location (e.g., an identity of a cell detected at the current location), the stored usage information, the stored availability information, and/or the stored almanac information. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
