1. A method comprising:
- determining, by an idle mobile station, that a Cell Camping Threshold message is received from a cell, wherein the Cell Camping Threshold message includes a Cell Camping Threshold parameter;
simulating a Cell Camping Threshold update by the idle mobile station using the Cell Camping Threshold parameter;
determining based on the simulating that the idle mobile station would camp on another cell using the Cell Camping Threshold parameter; and
transmitting a reporting event to a radio access network indicating that the idle mobile station would camp on another cell using the Cell Camping Threshold parameter, wherein the reporting event comprises a Camping Cell Determination decision indicating, at least in part, a preferred camping cell for the idle mobile station.

Abstract
A system for obtaining information relating to an idle mobile station in a cellular network is provided. The system includes a computing platform which is in communication with a radio network controller of the cellular network. The computing platform is configured for (i) generating and sending an input signal through the radio network controller to the radio access network; and (ii) identifying in data outputted by the radio network controller an output signal resulting from the input signal, the output signal including information relating to at least one idle mobile station.
