Re: Possible to control the radio strength of a nanoBTS?

Hi,

Another thing: if your mobile phone is set to auto it will always register on its home network (if available) even if the signal of your basestation is far stronger.

That's quite obvious if you understand the details of the cell selection algorithm. If you've been registered to an actual cell of the operator before, then that ARFCN/LAC is stored on the SIM card even when you shut off the phone.

So the phone will first try to register to that cell again before scanning the entire band.

Ahaa, that's an important detail I have missed! Thank you ;-)
