Patent GB-2352135-A (GB)
Title: Searching for a home public land mobile network
Inventor: OTTING MARCIA JEAN
IPC: H04B17/00
Filed: 2000-05-16
Abstract: A mobile station (MS) of a cellular radiotelephone system searches for its home public land mobile network (HPLMN) at the time when it reads broadcast data from a non-HPLMN serving cell on which it is camped (e.g every 30 seconds). The MS is already in its receive ready (high current drawing) state for the broadcast data and so battery power is conserved. The method of searching comprises measuring the power levels of channels on a broadcast allocation list (BA-list) saved from the last time the MS was camped on its HPLMN. If a power level is adequate and the MS is able to synchronise to the channel then broadcast data including a network identifier and new BA-list is received. If the network identifier corresponds to its HPLMN then the MS camps on its HPLMN.
