Abstract
This paper presents a novel mechanism which increases mobile terminal battery performance. It supports a cell reselection algorithm which decides on which cell, user equipment (UE) is camped on when in idle mode (there is no active radio connection with a mobile network). Study is based on real 3G UTRA network measurements. Authors propose a technique to reduce UE current consumption in idle mode based on dynamic Sintrasearch neighbour cell measurements threshold optimization. System analysis covers both UTRA and E-UTRA - Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology.
