CELL RE-SELECTION IN A CELLULAR TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method in a wireless cellular telecommunications device camped on a serving cell, the device storing a parameter obtained from a first cell, the method comprising:
- measuring an attribute of a signal received from a candidate cell; and
,evaluating the candidate cell for re-selection,wherein, if the candidate cell has an identifier equivalent to an identifier of the first cell, the evaluation of the candidate cell for re-selection is based on at least the measured attribute and the stored parameter, elsethe evaluation of the candidate cell for re-selection is performed without using the stored parameter.

Abstract
A wireless cellular telecommunications device stores a first parameter obtained from system information of a first cell and measures an attribute of a signal received from a candidate cell, determines if the candidate cell is a closed subscriber group cell, and evaluates the candidate cell for re-selection. If the candidate cell is determined to be a closed subscriber group cell, the evaluation of the candidate cell for re-selection is based on at least the measured attribute irrespective of the first stored parameter, that first stored parameter indicating a minimum value for the measured attribute.
