Abstract
The present disclosure presents example methods and apparatuses for improved cell searching in a wireless communications environment. For example, the disclosure presents example methods that can include computing a predicted serving signal strength associated with a serving cell where a mobility state of a user equipment is one of a stationary state or a low mobility state. Furthermore, in an aspect, the example method can include ascertaining a search threshold based at least on the predicted serving signal strength and generating a search integration length based on at least the search threshold. In addition, some example methods may include scanning for one or more reselection candidate cells based on at least the search integration length, wherein each of the one or more reselection candidate cells has a cell signal strength greater than the search threshold.
