Patent ID: 8855652

Claim:
A mobile communication terminal configured to communicate with a network device in a mobile communication system including a specific cell having a configurable access mode, the mobile communication terminal comprising: circuitry configured to determine whether to measure a reception quality of a signal broadcasted from the specific cell based on at least one piece of information of a moving speed of the mobile communication terminal and a usage state of the specific cell; and measure the reception quality of the signal broadcasted from the specific cell if it is determined that the reception quality of the signal broadcasted from the specific cell is to be measured, wherein the determining includes at least one of determining to measure the reception quality of the signal broadcasted from the specific cell when the moving speed of the mobile communication terminal is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value, and to not measure the reception quality of the signal broadcasted from the specific cell when the moving speed of the mobile communication terminal is greater than the predetermined threshold value; and determining to measure the reception quality of the signal broadcasted from the specific cell when the usage state of the specific cell corresponds to a first usage state and to not measure the reception quality of the signal broadcasted from the specific cell when the usage state of the specific cell corresponds to a second usage state.
