    Abstract: A mobile station includes client circuitry for facilitating wireless communications with a wireless communications system, and a configurable system selection unit that executes a system selection and acquisition procedure. The configurable system selection unit includes a front end and a system selection core. The front end facilitates communications between the configurable system selection unit and the client circuitry. The system selection core is coupled to the front end and includes a script engine and a nonvolatile memory storing at least one script table. The script table includes a plurality of system selection event conditions and corresponding scripts that define a system selection and acquisition procedure. The script engine is adapted to detect an event condition and execute the corresponding script. The system selection core is adapted to receive a system selection script and store the received script in the script table, thereby altering the system selection and acquisition procedure.

    Abstract: A mobile station includes processing circuitry and a memory. A group of wireless communications systems is selected in accordance with a predetermined system acquisition procedure. A received signal corresponding to each selected system is analyzed to determine a likelihood that the selected system would be acquired by the mobile station. The group of selected systems is reprioritized based on the results of the analysis to produce a more efficient system acquisition sequence. The mobile station then attempts to acquire a selected wireless communications system in accordance with the system acquisition sequence.

    Abstract: A mobile station is adapted to avoid unusable wireless communications systems during system acquisition. The mobile station includes processing circuitry and a memory storing a preferred roaming list and system avoidance data. The system avoidance data identifies unusable systems and includes corresponding avoidance criteria. The processing circuitry is adapted to select a system from the preferred roaming list in accordance with a predetermined system acquisition procedure. The selected system is skipped if corresponding avoidance criteria is satisfied. If the selected system is usable, the mobile station may attempt to acquire and register with the selected system. The processing circuitry is further adapted to add systems to the system avoidance data in response to a communications failure, and remove systems from the system avoidance data when corresponding avoidance criteria is no longer satisfied. The avoidance criteria may include a time period during which the corresponding system is unusable.
