Abstract
Embodiments are provided herein for reducing neighbor cell monitoring by a mobile communication device that may include measuring a channel condition of the cell serving the idle network subscription, determining whether the measured channel condition of the cell serving the idle network subscription satisfies a threshold value, and in response to determining that the measured channel condition of the cell serving the idle network subscription satisfies the threshold value, reducing a frequency at which neighbor cells associated with the idle network subscription are monitored and monitoring the neighbor cells associated with the idle network subscription according to the reduced frequency.
