Abstract

A method, system, and apparatus are described for managing a device in a mixed wireless communication system. A device may decide to scan or not scan for a cell based on (or at least on) updating information. The updating information may be used together or individually. The updating information may be maintaining a time window in conjunction with a device's motion status, maintaining a list that tracks cell identity in areas of non-service, or utilizing network deployment information.
