Patent ID: 8750872

Claim:
A method for controlling a cell reselection of a dual mode terminal, the method comprising: disconnecting from a currently connected first cell; determining whether a mode for a network selection search is set as a manual mode; determining whether a condition for access to a second cell is satisfied; determining whether a frequency and a Primary Scrambling Code (PSC) for access to the second cell are blocked if the condition for access to the second cell is satisfied; determining whether the second cell is included in a forbidden location area (LA) list; and connecting to the second cell, wherein the frequency of the second cell is any one of a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (UARFCN) and an Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN), and wherein, when the manual mode is set, the determining of whether the condition for access to the second cell is satisfied is performed in response to a determination that a location registration of the first cell fails due to non-existence of suitable cells.
