Abstract
Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for performing adaptive cell searching. In one example, a method for a user equipment (UE) includes determining that the UE has entered an out of coverage (OOC) status and, in response, configuring a cell search pattern that defines a series of scheduled search instances for each of one or more frequency sets. A timing of the series of scheduled search instances is based on a time at which the UE entered OOC status and the cell search pattern is configured to cause performance of a respective minimum search rate of respective frequency sets. The frequency sets are searched based on the configured cell search pattern.
