Patent ID: 8532652

Claim:
A user device comprising: a memory to store data; a network interface device communicably coupled to the memory; a processing device communicably coupled to the memory and the network interface device; and a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) selection subsystem executed from the memory by the processing device and communicably coupled to the network interface device, the CSG selection subsystem configured to: detect a CSG cell; determine that the CSG cell has a matching entry in a CSG list stored on the user device; connect to the CSG cell; store a record associated with the CSG cell into the memory of the user device; disconnect from the CSG cell; determine, based on the stored record, a proximity of the user device to the CSG cell; and adjust, subsequent to the disconnect from the CSG cell and based on the proximity, a search for the CSG cell, the adjusting comprising at least one of starting the search for the CSG cell, stopping the search for the CSG cell, setting a CSG cell search interval of the search for the CSG cell, or setting a CSG cell measurement interval of the search for the CSG cell.
