Method and apparatus for scheduling cells quality measurements in a mobile receiver

A method (200) for scheduling cells quality measurements in a mobile receiver comprises: receiving a downlink radio channel comprising system information (201) of a radio communication system; Retrieving (202) of at least a first parameter from the system information (201), said at least a first parameter indicating a criterion for performing cell quality measurements; Retrieving (203) at least a second parameter from the system information (201), wherein the at least one second parameter indicating a criterion for performing cell reselection; Adjusting (206) the at least one first parameter based on the at least one second parameter when the at least one first parameter is greater than a derived threshold value (205) or if a first parameter at least by the system information (201) is not provided (204 ); and scheduling (207) of the cells quality measurements based on the at least one adapted first parameters.
