1. A user equipment comprising:
- transceiver circuitry configured to operate in cells associated with at least one radio access technology (RAT) network; and
a controller configured to perform neighbor cell searches, wherein the controller is further configured to determine when the user equipment enters a first Radio Resource Control (RRC state from a second RRC state and, in response to the determination, the controller delays performing a cell search until the controller determines that the user equipment has received complete system information for a serving cell.

Abstract
A user equipment is provided comprising: 1) transceiver circuitry configured to operate in cells associated with at least one radio access technology (RAT) network; and 2) a controller configured to perform neighbor cell searches. The controller is further configured to determine when the user equipment enters a first RRC state from a second RRC state. In response to a determination that the user equipment entered a first RRC state from a second RRC state, the controller delays performing a cell search until the controller determines that the user equipment has received complete system information for a serving cell.

7. A method of operating a user equipment configured to operate in cells associated with at least one radio access technology (RAT) network comprising:
-
determining when the user equipment enters a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) state from a second RRC state; in response to a determination that the user equipment has entered the first RRC state, determining whether the user equipment has received complete system information for a serving cell; in response to a determination that the user equipment has received complete system information, performing a search for neighbor cells; and in response to a determination that the user equipment has not received complete system information, delaying performing a cell search until the user equipment has received complete system information for the serving cell. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for managing a wireless device in cells associated with at least one radio access technology (RAT), the computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for causing one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
performing neighbor cell searches; determining when the user equipment enters a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) state from a second RRC state; and in response to the determination, delaying performing a cell search until the processor determines that the user equipment has received complete system information for a serving cell. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
