Abstract
The present disclosure presents a method and apparatus for regaining service at a user equipment. For example, the disclosure presents a method for receiving a neighbor cell list from a serving cell, and scanning to identify target cells by the user equipment, wherein the target cells include neighbor cells included in the neighbor cell list and detected cells not included in the neighbor cell list. In addition, such an example method may include determining that the user equipment cannot successfully camp on any one of the neighbor cells, and attempting to camp on one of the detected cells. As such, an improved method and apparatus for regaining service at a user equipment may be achieved.
