Abstract

A communication system comprising a network element, a mobile station, and a plurality of radio access means. The plurality of radio access means is configured to provide communication services to the mobile station. A radio access means of the plurality of radio access means includes a plurality of cells. The plurality of radio access means use different communication methods. The network element is configured to order the radio access means based on provided information. The provided information is associated with the plurality of radio access means and is based on a plurality of parameters associated with each of the plurality of radio access means. The network element is further configured to select a target radio access means of the plurality of radio access means based on the ordering and to send a request to the mobile station to perform compressed mode measurements based on the selected target radio access means for selecting a cell associated with the selected target radio access means.
