Abstract:
The disclosure provides an improved method of operating a mobile terminal or user equipment in a cellular telecommunications network to efficiently discover preferred cells, in particular a HeNB, prior to connecting. Whilst constant searching for a preferred cell can ensure it is found as soon as it is within range, this has a significant impact on resources at the UE, such as battery power, and can disrupt any existing services that might be running. The proposed method determines the probability of the UE being within range of a preferred cell based on measurements already available to the UE or by the network. Additional measurements can then be made as required, and made with increasing frequency as the probability of being within range of the preferred cell increases.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of operating a mobile terminal in a telecommunications network comprising a plurality of cells, the method comprising:\n storing a cell preference list comprising a preferred cell from the plurality of cells in the telecommunications network; estimating a route taken by the mobile terminal; determining a probability of the mobile terminal being within range of the preferred cell using the estimated route; repeatedly performing actions to find the preferred cell, wherein an interval between actions is dependent on the determined probability; and connecting to the preferred cell.
