Abstract
A method and system for monitoring a mobile unit location is provided. The process includes; receiving a first mobile unit location; receiving a second mobile unit location; and determining the difference between the first and the second mobile unit location and if the difference between the second and first mobile unit location is beyond a pre-determined threshold value then turning off mobile unit neighboring cell measurement for a pre-determined duration. The process can also adjust the pre-determined duration value based on which the neighboring cell measurement is stopped. The location values may be based on a global satellite positioning system.
