Abstract
A mobile station attached to an access network receives a control message identifying neighboring cells of a different wireless technology than the access network. The mobile station searches for signaling of the neighboring cells of the different wireless technology, and in response to not being able to detect the signaling of the neighboring cells, the mobile station increases a time interval between successive searches for the signaling.
