ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for managing neighbor cells of a mobile communication terminal is provided. In the method, when a neighbor cell list is received from a network, neighbor cells are scanned to select a number of neighbor cells having high received signal strength indicator (RSSI) levels. The selected neighbor cells are managed in a BA list. The BA list is divided into a number of groups according to the RSSI levels. Different minimum signal strengths are applied to the respective groups, and it is determined whether there are neighbor cells that do not satisfy the minimum signal strengths. When the neighbor cells that do not satisfy the minimum signal strengths, the corresponding neighbor cells are deleted from the BA list.
