1. A method of updating a zone profile in a mobile radio terminal characterized by the steps of:
- storing a zone profile having a plurality of elements comprising;
at least one dominant element corresponding to at least a first quality of a particular signal parameter; and
at least one low priority element corresponding to at least a second quality of the particular signal parameter;
obtaining a plurality of radio signal parameter measurements;
determining if the plurality of radio signal parameter measurements includes measurements corresponding to at least one dominant element of the zone profile that is sufficiently adjacent to measurements corresponding to the at least one low priority element;
modifying an existing profile element corresponding to the at least one low priority element of the zone profile responsive to determining the plurality of radio signal parameter measurements includes measurements corresponding to the at least one dominant element of the zone profile that is sufficiently adjacent to measurements corresponding to the at least one low priority element;
determining if the plurality of radio signal parameter measurements includes measurements corresponding to at least one dominant element of the zone profile that is sufficiently adjacent to measurements corresponding to the at least one missing element; and
adding a new element to the zone profile corresponding to at least one missing element of the zone profile responsive to determining the plurality of radio signal parameter measurements includes measurements corresponding to at least one dominant element of the zone profile that is sufficiently adjacent to measurements corresponding to the at least one missing element.

Abstract
Methods and systems of updating a zone profile comprising obtaining a plurality of radio signal parameter measurements and, if the plurality of radio signal parameter measurements contains at least one measurement corresponding to a dominant element of the zone profile and if the plurality of radio signal parameter measurements contains at least one measurement corresponding to a candidate element (e.g., statistically unlikely element) of the zone profile, updating the profile by either adjusting an existing parameter value or by adding a new element to the zone profile corresponding to the candidate element.
