Abstract
User Equipments (UEs) can be adapted to enter into a lower RRC state from a higher RRC state, and search for one or more layers of higher priority within a predetermined period of time upon entering into the lower RRC state. According to at least one aspect, this search for one or more layers of higher priority may be performed irrespective of RF quality of a current serving cell. According to at least another aspect, this search for one or more layers of higher priority may be conducted within the predetermined period of time if a wait period has elapsed since the UE camped on the current serving cell. If the wait period has not elapsed since camping on the current serving cell, the search for one or more layers of higher priority may be performed within the predetermined period of time following a duration of the wait period.
