Method and apparatus for controlling the measurement of the signal strength of the frequency of a forbidden registration area in a mobile communication system

摘要

A method and apparatus for controlling measuring the signal strength of the frequency of a new cell within a forbidden registration area when a User Equipment (UE) enters into the new cell in a mobile communication system are provided. If the UE recognizes the new registration area as forbidden, the UE does not measure the signal strength of the frequency of the current cell for a predetermined reference time, and searches for a suitable cell for a normal service by measuring the signal strength of other frequencies. If no suitable cell in the other frequencies is found, the UE removes a measuring limitation and searches for an acceptable cell for a limited service by measuring the signal strength of available frequencies including the frequency of the current cell.
