Abstract
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for selecting a cell having a particular type of service, such as packet switched (PS) service. The methods and apparatus effect determination within a mobile device of signal strength for at least one cell and whether the at least one cell meets signal strength and path loss criteria based on the determined signal strength. A determination is then made whether the at least one cell supports PS for a PS only device, and a selection to receive service from or camp on the cell is then made when the at least one cell has been determined to support PS. By effecting such selection in PS only devices such as Class C devices, the mobile devices will have PS service for which they are designed and avoids cells having only circuit switched service that would provide no service for the PS only device.
