Patent number: 11997554Abstract: System and methods for smart cell selection and reselection are described. A mobile device may attempt to camp on a cell in a tracking area that has advertised a particular frequency band. If the mobile device is unable to recognize an information element identifying a different subset of the advertised frequency band than that supported by the mobile device, the mobile device will store a record of the tracking area and the advertised frequency band and compare future cell information broadcasts to the entry, avoiding attempts to operate within cells in the same tracking area advertising the same frequency. In this way the mobile device conserves resources by avoiding actions in incompatible cells and avoids storing information about many cells by only storing the tracking area information.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2022Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Kun Lu, Egil Gronstad, Alan Denis MacDonald, Scott Francis Migaldi, John Humbert, Brett L.
