This is an aproaching process:
#Scan 124 RF channels and measure
signal strength for 3-5 seconds
#Tune to the RF channel with the highest
received average signal strength
#Determine if it is a BCCH carrier by searching for frequency correction bursts.
#Is it a BCCH carrier? The MS shall attempt to synchronize to This carrier and read BCCH info
#Is it the wanted PLMN?
#Is the cell barred for access?
#Is C1 > 0?
#Camp on the cell
IF THE ONE OF THIS STAGES NOT ACCOMPLISHED THE MOBILE WILL TUNE AGAIN AT ANOTHER STRONGE FREQUENCY.

Hi suvendu
Attempt to access the home PLMN(broadcasted at BCCH) are performed as specified
bellow:
1 The periodic attempts are only performed in automatic mode
when the MS is roaming in its home country.
2 After power on, a period of at least n minutes and at most T
minutes is elapsed before the first attempt is made.
3 The MS makes an attempt if it is on the visiting PLMN at
time T after the last attempt.
4 Periodic attempts are only to be performed by the MS while
in idle mode.
5 If the home PLMN is not found, the MS remains on the
visiting PLMN
