Method and device for obtaining candidate information
First Claim
1. A mobile device configured to operate using more than one RAT (Radio Access Technology), the mobile device comprising:
- for each RAT, a respective wireless access radio;
a cell selector configured to, while the mobile device is operating in a serving cell of a first RAT;
obtain, through at least one of the wireless access radios, a first set of candidate information from a first message comprising candidate information provided for the serving cell, the first set of candidate information concerning cells or frequencies that are provided as candidates for cell reselection from the serving cell;
obtain, through at least one of the wireless access radios, a second set of candidate information from a second message comprising candidate information provided for a neighbour cell of the serving cell, the second set of candidate information concerning cells or frequencies that are provided as candidates for cell reselection from the neighbour cell of the serving cell; and
consider a combination of both the candidate information from the first set and the candidate information from the second set in determining a cell for reselection by the mobile device.

Abstract
A method, computer readable medium and mobile device for operating using more than one Radio Access Technology (RAT) are provided. When the mobile device is operating in a serving cell of a first RAT, it obtains, through at least one of wireless access radios in the mobile device, a first set of candidate information from a message transmitted for the serving cell. It also obtains, through at least one of the wireless access radios, a second set of candidate information from a message transmitted for a neighbor cell of the serving cell. The mobile device considers the candidate information from the first set and the candidate information from the second set for reselection by the mobile device.

23. A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer executable instructions stored thereon that when executed by a processor of a mobile device operating in a serving cell of a first RAT (Radio Access Technology) implement a method for obtaining candidate information, the method comprising:
-
obtaining a first set of candidate information from a first message comprising candidate information provided for the serving cell, the first set of candidate information concerning cells or frequencies that are provided as candidates for cell reselection from the serving cell; obtaining a second set of candidate information from a second message comprising candidate information provided for a neighbour cell of the serving cell, the second set of candidate information concerning cells or frequencies that are provided as candidates for cell reselection from the neighbour cell of the serving cell; and considering a combination of both the candidate information from the first set and the candidate information from the second set for reselection by the mobile device.
