Abstract

In a mobile station for use in a cellular radio system, the mobile station is adapted to increase radio measurements relating to the currently best cell at times when the user is preparing to set up a call in order to increase the likelihood that a mobile station is camping in the correct cell when setting up a call. This is obtained by adding a third mode to the already existing idle and active modes. The additional mode provides for an increased amount of idle mode measurements compared to the conventional idle mode.
