Method of reselecting a cell by a mobile terminal in idle mode in a cellular telecommunication network
First Claim
1. A method of reselecting a cell by a mobile terminal in idle mode in a cellular telecommunication network in which the network sends to the terminal a list containing information with regard to the UMTS cells to be identified, and the terminal periodically performs a series of procedures of identifying said cells and a series of intersystem measurements on the identified cells,wherein, between two successive procedures of identification, the terminal performs a series of procedures of measurement whose duration is fixed so that total duration for performing a procedure of identification and the subsequent series of procedures of measurement is less than 25 seconds.

Abstract
A method is provided of reselecting a cell by a mobile terminal in idle mode in a cellular telecommunication network in which the network sends to the terminal a list containing information with regard to the UMTS cells to be identified, and in which the mobile terminal periodically performs a series of procedures of identifying the cells and a series of intersystem measurements on the identified cells. Between two successive procedures of identification, the mobile terminal performs a series of procedures of measurement whose duration is fixed so that the total duration for performing a procedure of identification and the subsequent series of procedures of measurement is less than 25 seconds.
