Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for scanning base stations in wireless communications. The base stations can be scanned in order of distance from a device or a corresponding reference point so that base stations of a shortest distance are measured before those of a longer distance. In addition, scanning of base stations can be ceased according to one or more stopping criteria to improve efficiency of scanning.
