Cell Selection Reselection v2 0

1. The document discusses various cell reselection mechanisms between different radio access technologies (RATs) including 2G, 3G, and 4G. 2. Key parameters for reselection include minimum received signal levels, hysteresis values, offsets, and priorities that help determine when a mobile device should reselect to a new cell. 3. Reselection criteria include comparing the signal level of the serving cell to neighboring cells, along with factoring in hysteresis, offsets, and other thresholds to determine when a reselection should occur.

Selection:

C1=RxLev(Received levels) - rxLevAccessMin

For a cell with rxLevAccessMin=10 (-100) , received levels= -85 dBm

Reselection:

C2 = C1 + reselOffset - temporaryOffset* H(PT - T)


C2 = C1-reselOffset when PT equal to 31
Say reselOffset=6dB, and TO=3dB

If penalty time is reached then,


C2=C1+CRO-TO*H(PT-T)=15+6-3=18
C1 = -85-(-100)= 15
