A link locating assisting device in a wireless communication network (10) obtains search limitation data concerning the wireless communication network and sends the search limitation data (SLD) to the wireless terminal (12) via a serving network node (14) and a serving link (SLK) for use in obtaining limitations for limiting a search for a set of candidate links (CLK1, CLK2, CLK3). The wireless terminal (12) obtains the search limitation data (SLD), sets limitations for a link search based on the search limitation data, search for candidate links starting with a current link search setting used with the serving link (SLK), and continues searching for candidate links with an offset from the current link search setting that grows with every search until the search limitations have been met.
