Abstract

A mobile terminal for participating in a mobile network and adapted to perform a power consumption sensitive cell reselection includes a detector configured to detect presence of a first possible connection to the mobile network via a first technology, and a second possible connection to the mobile network via a second technology. A selector is configured to identify which of the first possible connection and the second possible connection causes less energy consumption in the mobile terminal in a low-power mode of operation. A controller is configured to connect the mobile terminal to the mobile network through the identified possible connection. A network entity for supporting a mobile terminal in performing a power consumption sensitive cell reselection is also disclosed.
