SYSTEM FOR BETTER SERVICE RESELECTION WHEN ON OTHER THAN THE MOST PREFERRED SYSTEM

摘要

System for better service reselection when on other than the Most Preferred system. In various aspects, methods and corresponding apparatus are provided for a service reselection system that operates on a device to provide better service reselection during idle mode, origination mode and active traffic mode. A method includes detecting entry into slotted mode operation on a Less Preferred system, waiting for page monitoring to complete at selected slot cycle wakeup times, performing a service reselection scan at the selected slot cycle wakeup times to find More Preferred systems, wherein the service reselection scan is performed after the page monitoring has completed, and limiting a time duration of the service reselection scan so as to avoid interference with the page monitoring to be performed at slot cycle wakeup times that follow the selected slot cycle wakeup times.
