Abstract
User equipment (UE) obtains system information using a foreground or background process. The system information may include cell information that distinguishes femtocells from macrocells. Given this cell information, the UE may avoid tuning to or attempting to connect to cell types that the UE does not support. For instance, the UE may avoid connection attempts to femtocells, when the UE does not support femtocell connections.
