EFFICIENT METHOD TO PERFORM CELL SEARCH IN A MULTI SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY MODULE DEVICE

摘要

A method for performing a cell search that includes: identifying a first frequency used by a first base station (BS) on which a mobile communication device is camped on a first subscription; receiving one or more messages from the first BS on the first frequency; identifying a second frequency used by a second BS that is an interfrequency neighbor of the first BS based at least in part on the one or more messages; and determining to exclude from the cell search on a second subscription at least one of the first frequency and the second frequency.
