<p>A method is disclosed for operating a mobile station (10). The method has a first step of storing data into a memory (12A, 12B, 12C) within the mobile station (10), the stored data including at least one system operator code (SOC) having an assigned priority value. Upon the mobile station (10) receiving a system identification (SID) associated with the stored SOC, the method stores the SID into the memory (12A, 12B, 12C) so as to have the same priority value that is assigned to the SOC. When the mobile station (10) subsequently receives a transmission containing the SID and not the SOC, the mobile station (10) accesses the memory (12A, 12B, 12C) to determine the priority value associated with the SID, and then controls the operation of the mobile station (10) based on the determined priority value. The step of controlling the operation of the mobile station (10) preferably controls at least one of a scanning behavior or a camping behavior of the mobile station (10). Typically there will be at least two wireless systems (N01, N02) having different air interface protocols, and one of the at least two wireless systems (N01, N02) can be an ANSI-136 wireless system. The priority value can assign the wireless system (N01, N02) to be one of a plurality of priorities such as, for an Intelligent Roaming case, a Forbidden system, a Neutral system, a Favored system, a Partner system, or a Home system. In another embodiment the system priorities could be more or less than these five types, and could be a plurality of system priorities that are defined and assigned by the network operator.</p> |
