First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for reducing a forced neighbor cell procedure, comprising:
- in a mobile unit on a communications channel, monitoring one or more neighbor cell parameters; and
performing a neighbor cell measurement in a selectively generated opportunity in the communications channel to reduce the possibility that the mobile unit will enter a forced neighbor cell measurement.

Abstract
The invention concerns a method (300, 500) and system (112) for reducing a forced neighbor cell procedure. The method can include the steps of—in a mobile unit (112) on a communications channel (400, 600)—monitoring (312, 512) one or more neighbor cell parameters and performing (314, 514) a neighbor cell measurement in a selectively generated opportunity in the communications channel to reduce the possibility that the mobile unit will enter a forced neighbor cell measurement.

11. A system for reducing a forced neighbor cell procedure, comprising:
-
a receiver that receives wireless signals over a communications channel; and
a processor coupled to the receiver, wherein the processor is programmed to;
monitor one or more neighbor cell parameters; and
perform a neighbor cell measurement in a selectively generated opportunity in the communications channel to reduce the possibility that the mobile unit will enter a forced neighbor cell measurement. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
