Method and device for obtaining candidate information
First Claim
1. A mobile device configured to operate using more than one Radio Access Technology ‘
- RAT’
, the mobile device comprising;
for each radio access technology, 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 message comprising at least one of;
i) a first set of candidate information concerning cells or frequencies that are provided as candidates for cell reselection from the serving cell; and
ii) frequencies that may be associated with a first set of not allowed cells of a second RAT;
obtain, through at least one of the wireless access radios, a second message comprising at least one of;
i) a second set of candidate information concerning cells or frequencies that are provided as candidates for cell reselection from a neighbour cell of the serving cell; and
ii) frequencies that may be associated with a second set of not allowed cells of the second RAT;
determine a cell for reselection with consideration of at least one of;
i) the candidate information from the first set and the candidate information from the second set; and
ii) the frequencies and associated not allowed cells from the first set and the frequencies and associated not allowed cells from the second set.

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.

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon that when executed by a processor of a mobile device implement a method for the mobile device to obtain candidate information while the mobile device is operating in a serving cell of a first Radio Access Technology ‘
- RAT’
, the method comprising;obtaining a first message comprising at least one of; i) a first set of candidate information concerning cells or frequencies that are provided as candidates for cell reselection from the serving cell; and ii) frequencies that may be associated with a first set of not allowed cells of a second RAT; obtaining a second message comprising at least one of; i) a 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 ii) frequencies that may be associated with a second set of not allowed cells of the second RAT; determine a cell for reselection with consideration of at least one of; i) the candidate information from the first set and the candidate information from the second set; and ii) the frequencies and associated not allowed cells from the first set and the frequencies and associated not allowed cells from the second set.
