Patent ID: 8229432

Claim:
A base station reselection method for a mobile terminal camped on a serving base station, which mobile terminal performs a cell reselection function in accordance with reselection parameters, the method comprising: determining a mobility state related to a rate of movement of the mobile terminal; determining a prioritization profile for the mobile terminal which accords a at least one priority to respective radio resources of a plurality of different radio resources, the prioritization profile determination being dependent upon the mobility state of the mobile terminal; taking measurements of reselection parameters for one or more radio resources listed in the determined prioritization profile; comparing a first threshold with the measured reselection parameters for the one or more radio resources sequentially according to the determined prioritization profile until at least one of the measured reselection parameters for a given radio resource exceeds the first threshold; and when the at least one of the measured reselection parameters exceeds the first threshold, reselecting to the given radio resource.
