ABSTRACT:
Provided is a method and apparatus for reducing the number of times of measurements in a mobile communication terminal. According to the method, a signal receive level (“Srxlev”) and a signal quality (“Squal”) of a serving cell in an idle state are measured. When the serving-cell selection condition is not satisfied or an adjacent-cell measurement condition is satisfied as a result of the measurement, it is determined whether the number of times of cell reselections reaches a critical value. When the number of times of cell reselections reaches the critical value, the number of times of cell reselection is initialized to a value smaller than the critical value and the mobile terminal returns to an idle state. When the number of times of cell reselections does not reach the critical value, an adjacent-cell measurement for the cell reselection is performed. Therefore, unnecessary quiescent current consumption is reduced and a quiescent current performance is improved.
