Abstract
A cell in a mobile terminal is selected from a set of serving cell candidates. A first serving cell candidate is evaluated from the set by estimating the distance from the mobile terminal to the first serving cell candidate and determining whether the estimated distance exceeds a predetermined distance, based on a criterion. In response to determining that the estimated distance exceeds the predetermined distance, no call (i.e., the executing process refrains from performing a call) on the first serving cell candidate occurs and a second serving cell candidate from the set is evaluated—even if the mobile terminal is receiving the strongest radio signals from the first serving cell candidate. In response to determining that the estimated distance exceeds the predetermined distance, identity of the first serving cell candidate is reported to an Operating Sub System (OSS).
