Abstract
An early BSIC (base station identity code) abort procedure includes comparing a first signal strength of a serving cell with a first threshold and comparing a second signal strength of a target cell to a second threshold. The first threshold is a sum of a network indicated threshold and a user equipment (UE) threshold. The second threshold is a difference between the network indicated threshold and the UE threshold. When the first signal strength is below the first threshold and the second signal strength is above the second threshold, the base station identity code (BSIC) procedure is initiated. A number of BSIC failure attempts is adaptively set before terminating the BSIC procedure.
