Abstract

According to an example, a communication terminal is described comprising a determiner configured to determine cell search control information including at least a radio access technology to be searched for, a search duration, a number of search iterations, a number of antennas to be used for the search and based on at least one of information about the current radio conditions that the communication terminal is experiencing, position of the terminal, historical information about the presence of the radio cells at the position of the communication terminal, communication terminal attach history in terms of moving from some specific RATs/cells to other specific RATs/cells, proximity sensors' information and a transceiver configured to perform a cell search based on the determined cell search control information.
