1. A method of cell reselection by a user equipment device (UE), the UE operable with a first cellular Radio Access Technology (RAT) and a second cellular RAT, the method comprising:
- when the UE is camped on a cell of the first RAT, determining whether a cell of a second RAT is suitable for camping,the UE not considering said cell of the second RAT as a candidate for reselection if said cell of the second RAT is not suitable for camping, and further not considering said cell of the second RAT for a time period.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for selecting cells in a mobile telecommunications system, the system comprising a network of a plurality of cells of a Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS) and a network of a plurality of cells of a second Radio Access Technology (RAT), the method comprising, at a user equipment device: when in UMTS mode, flagging in a neighboring cell list stored on the user equipment device information for a cell of a second RAT which is known to be unsuitable for selection. Information from the neighboring cell list information for the flagged cell may be removed, in particular for a limited period of time.

17. A user equipment device (UE) configured to be operable with a first cellular Radio Access Technology (RAT) and a second cellular RAT, the UE comprising:
-
a processor and memory, the UE being operable so that, when the UE is camped on a cell of the first RAT, it is determined whether a cell of a second RAT is suitable for camping, wherein the UE does not consider said cell of the second RAT as a candidate for reselection if said cell of the second RAT is not suitable for camping, and further does not consider said cell of the second RAT for a time period. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
