cell has been successfully selected, the MS will start the cell reselection tasks.

It will continuously make measurements on its current serving cell and neighbouring cells, in order to initiate cell reselection if necessary. For multiband MSs the strongest non-serving carriers may belong to different frequency bands. The MS continuously monitors all neighbouring BCCH carriers, as indicated by the BA list, in addition to the BCCH carrier of the serving cell, to detect i f it is more suitable to camp on another cell. At least five received signal level measurement samples are required for each defined neighbouring cell. A running average of the received signal level will be maintained for each carrier in the BA list. All system information messages sent on BCCH must be read at least once every 30 seconds in order to monitor changes in cell parameters. The MS also tries to synchronise to and read the BCCH information that contains parameters affecting cell reselection for the six strongest non-serving carriers (in the BA list) at least every five minutes. The MS also attempts to decode the BSIC parameter for each of the six strongest surr
