A method and apparatus for controlling cellular reselection attempts on a computing device is disclosed. A computing device performs an automated process to repeatedly check the adequacy of the serving cell that it is currently assigned to. The computing device performs the check to determine whether it should perform a neighbor search and cell reselection. If the computing device determines the presence of particular conditions, it can perform the reselection by a default automated process. On the other hand, if the computing device determines criteria based, at least in part, on past instances, the computing device can modify the default automated process and skip attempts at performing neighbor search and cell reselections.

Method and apparatus for controlling cellular reselection attempts on a computing device

A method and a system for controlling cell reselection on a computing device are disclosed. The method comprises detecting the mobile device operating under a potential over-shuttling reselection condition, and making a determination as to whether the mobile computing device operation is operating under the over-shuttling reselection condition based on pre-determined criteria.
