Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: stop monitoring cells for a cell reselection by a mobile station if access to said cells is forbidden, and storing an identity of said cells as forbidden cells by the mobile station; receiving by the mobile station from a network a cell-list signal indicative of a list of cells located in a radio-sensitive geographical area of said mobile station; generating by said mobile station a modified list of cells by removing from said list, if available, forbidden access cells contained among said forbidden cells; choosing one cell from said modified list using a predetermined criterion, wherein said one cell meets a radio-based pre-selected criterion; checking by said mobile station if said one cell was previously unsuccessfully reselected for connecting the mobile station to the network; and reselecting said one cell after determining that a predetermined procedural criterion for connecting said mobile station using a cell to the network is met for said one cell and if said one cell was not previously unsuccessfully reselected, and using said one cell by said mobile station for connecting said mobile station to a network in a limited mobile access environment.
