Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: measuring, by a mobile station, a plurality of signal strengths of a plurality of first carrier frequencies of a first radio access technology; performing, by the mobile station, primary synchronization channel (PSYNC) detection on a plurality of second carrier frequencies of a second radio access technology; marking, by the mobile station, a plurality of third carrier frequencies from among the plurality of second carrier frequencies of the second radio access technology where the PSYNC has been detected; removing, by the mobile station, the plurality of third carrier frequencies from a listing of the plurality of first carrier frequencies; ranking, by the mobile station, remaining carrier frequencies from the listing of the plurality of first carrier frequencies based upon signal strengths of the remaining carrier frequencies from among the plurality of signal strengths; and selecting, by the mobile station, one or more of the remaining carrier frequencies from the listing of the plurality of first carrier frequencies for communication based upon the ranking.
