1. A mobile station, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory storing program instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;
(a) determine if any candidate control channels of a list of candidate control channels are ineligible for selection by belonging to a private network to which the mobile station is not permitted access;
(b) analyze those candidate control channels not determined to be ineligible for selection to identify a primary candidate control channel; and
(c) attempt to select the primary candidate control channel.

Abstract
A mobile station including a processor and a memory storing program instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine if any candidate control channels of a list of candidate control channels are ineligible for selection by belonging to a private network to which the mobile station is not permitted access, analyze those candidate control channels not determined to be ineligible for selection to identify a primary candidate control channel, and attempt to select the primary candidate control channel.

5. A mobile station, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory storing program instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; determine if any candidate control channels of a list of candidate control channels are incompatible sooth the mobile station by belonging to a private network to which the mobile station is not permitted access; and mark as ineligible those candidate control channels determined to be incompatible with the mobile station, wherein once a candidate control channel is marked ineligible it is not considered for selection in a selection process. - View Dependent Claims (6)

7. A mobile station, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory storing; data identifying a plurality of candidate control channels and at least one parameter associated with each of the plurality of candidate control channels; and program instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; determine whether the parameter associated with each of the plurality of candidate control channels is incompatible with a corresponding parameter of the mobile station; and mark, as ineligible, the data identifying each of the plurality of candidate control channels for which at least one parameter is incompatible with the corresponding parameter of the mobile station. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method associated with a mobile station storing data identifying a plurality of candidate control channels, the mobile station and each of the plurality of candidate control channels having a service type and a system type associated therewith, the data further identifying the service type and/or the system type of each of the plurality of candidate control channels, the method comprising:
-
determining whether the service type or the system type of each of the plurality of candidate control channels is incompatible with the respective service type or system type associated Wraith the mobile station; and marking, as ineligible, the data identifying each of the plurality of candidate control channels for which the service type or the system type associated therewith is determined to be incompatible with the service type or the system type associated with the mobile station. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
