Abstract
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for selecting a new cell, from a plurality of cells in a boundary area between first and second coverage areas, for a wireless device. The first and second coverage areas may include, for example, include cells controlled by first and second operators or cells in different time zones. In either case, the techniques may facilitate giving preference to cells in a same coverage area as a current cell. The wireless device may then select a cell from the list of neighbor cells as the new cell.
