In this case, the location of the UE in the ECM-IDLE state is known only to the MME as the granularity of the list of tracking areas (TAs).
- a single TA is identified by a tracking area identity (TAI) consisting of the PLMN identifier to which the TA belongs and a tracking area code (TAC) that uniquely represents the TA within the PLMN.
- TAI tracking area identity
- TAC tracking area code
- the UE selects a cell having a signal quality and characteristics capable of receiving an appropriate service from among cells provided by the selected PLMN.
- the terminal selects / reselects a cell of appropriate quality and performs procedures for receiving service.
- the UE in the RRC idle state should always select a cell of appropriate quality and prepare to receive service through this cell. For example, a terminal that has just been powered on must select a cell of appropriate quality to register with the network. When the terminal in the RRC connected state enters the RRC idle state, the terminal should select a cell to stay in the RRC idle state. As such, the process of selecting a cell satisfying a certain condition in order for the terminal to stay in a service standby state such as an RRC idle state is called cell selection.
- the cell selection is performed in a state in which the UE does not currently determine a cell to stay in the RRC idle state, it is most important to select the cell as soon as possible. Therefore, if the cell provides a radio signal quality of a predetermined criterion or more, even if this cell is not the cell providing the best radio signal quality to the terminal, it may be selected during the cell selection process of the terminal.
- an initial cell selection process in which the terminal does not have prior information on the radio channel. Accordingly, the terminal searches all radio channels to find an appropriate cell. In each channel, the terminal finds the strongest cell. Thereafter, the terminal selects a corresponding cell if it finds a suitable cell that satisfies a cell selection criterion.
- the terminal may select the cell by using the stored information or by using the information broadcast in the cell.
- cell selection can be faster than the initial cell selection process.
- the UE selects a corresponding cell if it finds a cell that satisfies a cell selection criterion. If a suitable cell that satisfies the cell selection criteria is not found through this process, the UE performs an initial cell selection process.
- the terminal After the terminal selects a cell through a cell selection process, the strength or quality of a signal between the terminal and the base station may change due to a change in mobility or a wireless environment of the terminal. Therefore, if the quality of the selected cell is degraded, the terminal may select another cell that provides better quality. When reselecting a cell in this way, a cell that generally provides better signal quality than the currently selected cell is selected. This process is called cell reselection.
- the cell reselection process has a basic purpose in selecting a cell that generally provides the best quality to a terminal in view of the quality of a radio signal.
- the network may determine the priority for each frequency and notify the terminal. Upon receiving this priority, the UE considers this priority prior to the radio signal quality criteria in the cell reselection process.
- a method of selecting or reselecting a cell according to a signal characteristic of a wireless environment In selecting a cell for reselection when reselecting a cell, the following cell reselection is performed according to a cell's RAT and frequency characteristics. There may be a method of selection.
- Intra-frequency cell reselection Reselection of a cell having a center-frequency equal to the RAT, such as a cell in which the UE is camping
- Inter-frequency cell reselection Reselects a cell having a center frequency different from that of the same RAT as the cell camping
- Inter-RAT cell reselection The UE reselects a cell that uses a different RAT from the camping RAT.

- cell reselection is performed based on cell reselection criteria.
- the cell reselection criteria have the following characteristics with respect to serving cell and neighbor cell measurements.
- Intra-frequency cell reselection is basically based on ranking.
- Ranking is an operation of defining index values for cell reselection evaluation and using the index values to order the cells in the order of the index values.
- the cell with the best indicator is often called the highest ranked cell.
- the cell index value is a value obtained by applying a frequency offset or a cell offset as necessary based on the value measured by the terminal for the corresponding cell.
- Inter-frequency cell reselection is based on the frequency priority provided by the network.
- the terminal attempts to camp on the frequency with the highest frequency priority.
- the network may provide the priorities to be commonly applied to the terminals in the cell or provide the frequency priority through broadcast signaling, or may provide the priority for each frequency for each terminal through dedicated signaling.
- the cell reselection priority provided through broadcast signaling may be referred to as common priority, and the cell reselection priority set by the network for each terminal may be referred to as a dedicated priority.
- the terminal may also receive a validity time associated with the dedicated priority.
- the terminal starts a validity timer set to the valid time received together.
- the terminal applies the dedicated priority in the RRC idle mode while the validity timer is running.
- the validity timer expires, the terminal discards the dedicated priority and applies the public priority again.
- the network may provide the UE with a parameter (for example, frequency-specific offset) used for cell reselection for each frequency.
- a parameter for example, frequency-specific offset
- the network may provide the UE with a neighboring cell list (NCL) used for cell reselection.
- NCL neighboring cell list
- This NCL contains cell-specific parameters (eg cell-specific offsets) used for cell reselection.
- the network may provide the UE with a cell reselection prohibition list (black list) used for cell reselection.
- the UE does not perform cell reselection for a cell included in the prohibition list.
- the ranking criterion used to prioritize the cells is defined as in Equation 1.
- R s is the ranking indicator of the serving cell
- R n is the ranking indicator of the neighbor cell
- Q meas s is the quality value measured by the UE for the serving cell
- Q meas n is the quality measured by the UE for the neighbor cell
- Q hyst is a hysteresis value for ranking
- Q offset is an offset between two cells.
- the terminal may alternately select two cells.
- Q hyst is a parameter for giving hysteresis in cell reselection to prevent the UE from reselecting two cells alternately.
- the UE measures R s of the serving cell and R n of the neighboring cell according to the above equation, considers the cell having the highest ranking indicator value as the highest ranked cell, and reselects the cell.
- the quality of the cell serves as the most important criterion in cell reselection. If the reselected cell is not a normal cell, the terminal excludes the frequency or the corresponding cell from the cell reselection target.
- the UE continuously measures to maintain the quality of the radio link with the serving cell receiving the service.
- the terminal determines whether communication is impossible in the current situation due to deterioration of the quality of the radio link with the serving cell. If the quality of the serving cell is so low that communication is almost impossible, the terminal determines the current situation as a radio connection failure.
- the UE abandons communication with the current serving cell, selects a new cell through a cell selection (or cell reselection) procedure, and reestablishes an RRC connection to the new cell (RRC connection re). -establishment).
- FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a RRC connection reestablishment procedure.

- the terminal After performing the cell selection procedure, the terminal checks the system information of the corresponding cell to determine whether the corresponding cell is a suitable cell (S730). If it is determined that the selected cell is an appropriate E-UTRAN cell, the terminal transmits an RRC connection reestablishment request message to the cell (S740).

- the UE may drive a timer as the RRC connection reestablishment procedure is initiated.
- the timer may be stopped when it is determined that the terminal has selected a suitable cell. If the timer expires, the UE may consider that the RRC connection reestablishment procedure has failed and may enter the RRC idle state.
- This timer is referred to hereinafter as a radio link failure timer.
- a timer named T311 may be used as a radio link failure timer.
- the terminal may obtain the setting value of this timer from the system information of the serving cell.
- the cell When the RRC connection reestablishment request message is received from the terminal and the request is accepted, the cell transmits an RRC connection reestablishment message to the terminal.
- the UE Upon receiving the RRC connection reestablishment message from the cell, the UE reconfigures the PDCP sublayer and the RLC sublayer for SRB1. In addition, it recalculates various key values related to security setting and reconfigures the PDCP sublayer responsible for security with newly calculated security key values. Through this, SRB 1 between the UE and the cell is opened and an RRC control message can be exchanged. The terminal completes the resumption of SRB1 and transmits an RRC connection reestablishment complete message indicating that the RRC connection reestablishment procedure is completed to the cell (S760).
