Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A user equipment (UE) may scale down a signal strength of a radio access technology (RAT) cell in a report to a serving cell to avoid multiple connection attempts to the same radio access technology cell. The UE may initiate a predefined timer, called a target cell timer, on which the scaling down of the reported signal strength of the particular RAT cell is based. The timer is initiated when the UE returns back to the serving cell after failure to access a top ranked RAT neighbor cell.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of wireless communication, comprising: initiating a target cell timer when a UE returns to a serving cell after failure to access the target cell; and scaling down a reported target cell signal strength after failure to access the target cell and when the target cell timer is active to reduce a ranking of the target cell relative to other neighbor cells in a ranked list, the ranking of the ranked list based at least in part on signal strength of t…
