Patent ID: 8903383

Claim:
A method in a wireless device, comprising: monitoring a neighbour cell at a time interval; and if a criterion is satisfied relating to a previous reselection or selection activity of the device, increasing the time interval at which the neighbour cell is monitored; in which the criterion relates to: a day, or time of day; measurements of a cell the device is camped on; neighbour cell measurements; a message received from a network within which the device is operable; measurements of a cell upon which the device is camped; currently or previously, time collectively and/or continuously camped on a cell within a predetermined time interval; a speed of a past reselection; within a time interval, reselection to a cell Y being relatively frequent and/or reselection to a cell Z being relatively infrequent; or whether the device is stationary, in which stationary comprises physically stationary, sufficiently small movement to be servable by a single cell, or being unlikely to perform reselection.
