Patent ID: 8538425

Claim:
A method for improving mobile-terminated call set-up performance during inter-frequency cell reselection comprising: determining if the timing of a registration system information or a paging occasion occurs first; if the paging occasion occurs first, then checking for a page on a target cell, and answering the page on the target cell after collecting system information if the page exists; or if the timing of the registration system information occurs first, then a) reading registration system information and obtaining a registration area indicator of the target cell; b) determining if the registration area indicator of a source cell and the registration area indicator of the target cell are the same; c) determining whether checking the page in the source cell would overlap with receiving system information from the target cell if the registration area indicator of the source cell and the registration area indicator of the target cell are not the same; d) if there is overlap, or if the registration area indicator of the source cell and the registration area indicator of the target cell are the same, continuing to collect system information and monitoring at least one paging channel in the target cell; or e) if there is no overlap, checking for the page in the source cell, and if there is no page, then continuing to collect system information and monitoring at least one paging channel in the target cell.
