LTE eRAN2.1 Idle Mode Behavior
PLMN selection
Used to ensure that the PLMN selected by the UE provides services properly.
System information reception

The network broadcasts the network information to the UE that camps on the cell. Upon
reception of broadcast information, the UE obtains the network information and takes
actions accordingly.
Cell selection and reselection

Used to ensure that the UE finds a suitable cell to camp on.
Location registration
This procedure is used by the UE to report its status to the network. This procedure is of
two types: periodical location registration and the location registration necessitated by
changes in the location area.
Paging procedure
Used for the network to send paging messages to a UE which is in idle mode, CELL_PCH
state, or URA_PCH state.
Access procedure
From the view of access stratum, access is the procedure the UE shift from idle mode to
connected mode.
A PLMN identity consists of a Mobile Country Code (MCC) and a Mobile Network Code
(MNC).
When a UE is powered on or recovers from lack of coverage, after the cell search, the UE
first selects the last registered PLMN and attempts to register on that PLMN. If the
registration on the PLMN is successful, the UE shows the selected PLMN on the display,
and now it can obtain service from an operator. If the last registered PLMN is unavailable
or the registration on the PLMN fails, another PLMN can be automatically or manually
selected according to the priorities of PLMNs stored in the USIM.
Several PLMN concepts are defined:
Equivalent PLMN List:The Equivalent PLMN (EPLMN) list is a list of PLMNs

considered as equivalent to the local network by the UE in terms of service
provisioning. During PLMN selection, the UE preferentially selects a PLMN from the
list. The EPLMN list is sent from the EPC and stored in the UE.
Home PLMN: The Home PLMN (HPLMN) is the PLMN in which the UE is defined.
Each UE belongs to only one HPLMN.
Visited PLMN: The Visited PLMN (VPLMN) is the PLMN where the UE is located. A
VPLMN can be the HPLMN.
Cell search is a procedure in which a UE achieves time and frequency synchronization with
a cell, obtains the physical cell ID, and learns the signal quality and other information about
the cell based on the physical cell ID. Before PLMN selection, a UE performs a cell search
on all carrier frequencies.
By monitoring the synchronization signal, UE gets the frame synchronization, and then, UE
can measure the reference signal and read the BCH.
The cell search procedure is as follows:
The UE listens to the P-SS to achieve clock synchronization with a maximum

synchronization error of 5 ms. Physical cell IDs have a one-to-one correspondence
with primary synchronization signals. Therefore, the UE acquires the physical cell ID
by monitoring the P-SS
The UE listens to the S-SS to achieve frame synchronization, that is, time
synchronization with the cell. Cell ID groups have a one-to-one relation with
secondary synchronization signals. Therefore, the UE acquires the number of the
cell ID group to which the physical cell ID belongs by monitoring the S-SS.
The UE listens to the downlink reference signal to acquire the signal quality in the
cell.
The UE listens to the Broadcast Channel (BCH) to acquire other information about
the cell.
The P-SS and S-SS of a cell is determained by the site ID - NID(1) and sector ID - NID(2) , NID(1)
and NID(2) can be calculated by the physical cell ID-NIDcell.
Parameter ID
Description
PhyCellId
Indicates the physical cell ID, which can be reused and configured
according to planning. The range of Physical Cell ID is 0~503
PLMN Selection in Automatic Mode
When a UE fails to register on its last registered PLMN, the UE attempts to select
another PLMN. In automatic network selection mode, the UE selects a PLMN in the
following order:
HPLMN or an EHPLMN
Each PLMN in the "User Controlled PLMN Selector with Access Technology"
data file in the USIM, in order of priority, according to the UE's support for
Radio Access Technologies (RATs)
Other PLMNs with signals of high received quality, in a random order. The
high quality of signals is defined as the Reference Signal Received Power
(RSRP) of a cell in the PLMN being greater than or equal to -110 dBm.
When the UE finds a suitable cell in a PLMN during the preceding procedure, the
UE attempts to register on the PLMN. If the registration is successful, the UE camps
on the suitable cell; otherwise, the UE tries the next PLMN.
If the registration on none of the PLMNs is successful, the UE enters the limited
service state. If no PLMN is available, the UE cannot obtain any service.
PLMN Selection in Manual Mode
Other PLMNs in order of decreasing signal quality
When a UE fails to register on its last registered PLMN, the UE attempts to select
another PLMN. In manual network selection mode, the UE displays a list of PLMNs,
in the same order as the PLMNs to be selected in automatic network selection
mode.
In manual mode, the UE can also try forbidden PLMNs. If the UE succeeds in
registering on the selected PLMN, the PLMN is no more a forbidden PLMN to the
UE. The forbidden PLMNs are determined by the EPC.
Roaming
When in roaming state, a UE obtains service from a VPLMN that is different from
its HPLMN. For example, the UE obtains service from a PLMN in another country
(that is, from an international roaming area). When the UE with the roaming
service moves out of the coverage area of its HPLMN, the UE can obtain service
from another PLMN according to the PLMN information stored in the USIM. The
operator determines whether roaming is allowed for a UE.
After the UE registers on a VPLMN by roaming, it periodically searches for its
HPLMN and attempts to return to the HPLMN. The time interval between
consecutive searches for the HPLMN is defined by the operator and stored in the
USIM.
After selecting a PLMN, a UE selects a cell in the PLMN to camp on. When camped on the
cell, the UE monitors system information, performs measurements on the serving cell and
neighboring cells, and selects a better cell to camp on, according to measurement rules
and cell reselection criteria.
UE performs this procedure according to the selection or reselection related parameters in

the system information or in the RRC Connection Release message.
A UE can use one of the following two cell selection procedures: Stored Information Cell
Selection and Initial Cell Selection. The Stored Information Cell Selection procedure takes
precedence over the Initial Cell Selection procedure. The UE uses the latter procedure only
when it fails to find a suitable cell by using the former procedure.
During cell selection, a UE needs to check whether a cell fulfils the cell selection criteria.
The cell selection is based on the RSRP of the E-UTRAN cell. Before a UE can select a cell to
camp on, the RSRP of the cell must be higher than the user-defined minimum receive (RX)
level Qrxlevmin of the cell.
The formula for cell selection decision is as follows:
Srxlev > 0
where Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas - (Qrxlevmin + Qrxlevminoffset) - Pcompensation
Parameter

Qrxlevmeas
Received RS level
Qrxlevmin

Qrxlevmin
Indicates the minimum required RX level. This parameter is used in

the formula of the cell selection criterion S.
Qrxlevminoffset
Indicates the minimum required RX level offset. This parameter is

used in the formula of the cell selection criterion S. This parameter is
checked only when the UE is staying in the VPLMN and the cell
selection is triggered by the periodically searching high priority
PLMN.
Parameter ID
Description
PMaxCfgInd
Indicates whether to configure the the maximum TX power of the

UE in the intra-frequency neighboring cell. Recommended value is
NOT_CFG
PMax
Indicates the maximum TX power of the UE in the cell. If this

parameter is not included in the SIB3, the UE uses the maximum TX
power.
UE cell reselection include two steps:
Start the measurement for the neighboring cells
Rank the measured cells based on radio signal quality and priorities.
If the intra frequency measurement triggering threshold is configured, in case of the

measured serving cell signal quality is lower than the threshold , UE start the intra
frequency measurement to search for a better neighbor.
From SIB ,UE can get the serving cell and inter frequency/RAT neighbors priorities.
For the high priority cells, UE measure them always, for the low priority cells, UE measure
them in case of the serving cell signal is lower than the threshold.
The intra frequency cells have the same frequency priority, frequencies of different RATs
must have different priorities.
Parameter ID
Description
SNonIntraSearchCfg Indicates whether to configure the measurement triggering

Ind
threshold of the inter-frequency/inter-RAT cell reselection.
SNonIntraSearch
Indicates the measurement triggering threshold for the reselection

of the inter-frequency/inter-RAT cell.
SIntraSearchCfgInd
Indicates whether to configure the measurement triggering

threshold of the intra-frequency cell reselection.
SIntraSearch
Indicates the measurement triggering threshold for reselection to

intra-frequency cells. The step is 2 dB.
Frequencies of different RATs must have different priorities.
The priorities of E-UTRAN frequencies and inter-RAT frequencies are classified into the
following types:
Absolute priority: This priority is specified by the CellReselPriority parameter and

is sent to UEs through broadcast of system information.
Dedicated priority: This priority is UE-specific. Dedicated priorities are generated by
the internal dedicated prioritization algorithm or generated based on a Subscriber
Profile ID (SPID) when a UE releases radio resources. They are sent to the UE
through the RRC Connection Release message. The validity time of dedicated
priorities is defined by the timer T320ForLoadBalance or T320ForOther, which
is sent to the UE through the RRC Connection Release message.
During cell reselection, when a UE is camped on a suitable cell, the UE ignores all the
absolute priorities provided in system information if dedicated priorities are assigned
through dedicated signaling. If the UE acquires the priorities of other frequencies but no
priority of the serving frequency, the UE regards the priority of the serving frequency as the
lowest.
Parameter ID

Parameter ID
Description
T320ForLoadBalance
Indicates the length of timer T320 that is configured in

the case of load balancing. It refers to the time period during which
the dedicated priorities (used for cell reselection) retain valid.
The time period is contained in the RRCConnectionRelease message that
is received by the UE. After the timer specified in the
RRCConnectionRelease
message expires, the dedicated priorities become invalid.
T320ForOther
Indicates the length of timer T320 that is configured in

the case of load imbalancing. It refers to the time period during
which the dedicated priorities (used for cell reselection) retain
valid. The time period is contained in the RRCConnectionRelease message
that is received by the UE. After the timer specified in the
RRCConnectionRelease
message expires, the dedicated priorities become invalid.
A UE makes a cell reselection decision according to cell reselection criteria. When making a decision
on reselection to an intra frequency or equal-priority inter frequency cell, the UE checks whether the
signal quality of a neighboring cell is higher than that of the serving cell.
The cell-ranking criteria R_s for the serving cell and R_n for neighboring cells are defined as follows:
R_s = Qmeas,s + Qhyst
R_n = Qmeas,n - CellQoffset
Where:
Qmeas_s is the measured RSRP of the serving cell, expressed in units of dBm
Qhyst is the hysteresis for the serving cell used in the ranking criteria, expressed in units of
dB.
Qmeas_n is the measured RSRP of the neighboring cell, expressed in units of dBm
CellQoffset is the offset for the neighboring cell used in the ranking criteria, expressed in
units of dB
According to the cell reselection criteria, the UE should reselect the new cell only if both the
following conditions are met:
The new cell is ranked higher than the serving cell during the cell reselection time.
More than one second has elapsed since the UE camped on the serving cell.
During cell reselection, the UE needs to check whether access to that cell is allowed according to
the cellAccessRelatedInfo Information Element (IE) in the SIB1. If the cell is barred, it must be
excluded from the candidate list, and the UE does not consider the cell as a candidate for cell
reselection. If the cell is unsuitable because it is part of the list of forbidden TAs for roaming or it
does not belong to the registered PLMN or an EPLMN, the UE does not consider this cell and other
cells on the same frequency as candidates for reselection for a maximum of 300 seconds.
Parameter ID
Description
Qhyst
Indicates the hysteresis to the RSRP of the serving cell used in the
evaluation of cell reselection. The setting of this parameter is
relevant to the slow fading characteristic of the cell. That is, the
greater the variance of slow fading is, the larger the value of the
hysteresis should be. Thus, the edge of the serving cell becomes
larger, and the neighboring cell becomes harder to be selected.
Parameter ID
Description
CellQoffset
Indicates the cell specific offset between the serving cell and
the intra-frequency neighboring cell that is related to
(MOD
triggering of cell reselection. The larger the value of this
EUTRANINTRAFREQNCELL)
parameter is, the less possibly the cell reselection occurs. This
parameter is contained in SIB4.
CellQoffset
(MOD
EUTRANINTERFREQNCELL)
Indicates the cell specific offset between the serving cell and
the inter-frequency neighboring cell that is related to
triggering of cell reselection. The larger the value of this
parameter is, the less possibly the cell reselection occurs. This
parameter is contained in SIB5.
If the highest priority cell is unsuitable because it is part of the list of forbidden TAs for
roaming or it does not belong to the registered PLMN or an EPLMN, the UE does not
consider this cell as a candidate for reselection for a maximum of 300 seconds.
Parameter ID
Description
TReselEutran
Indicates the cell reselection duration of the E-UTRAN. When

the signal quality of the new cell is better than the serving
cell all the time and the UE stays in the current serving cell
for more than 1s, the UE is initiating cell reselection request
to the new cell. The smaller the parameter is, the easier the
cell reselection from the serving cell is triggered, and the
more possibly that the pingpong reselection occurs. The
bigger the parameter is, the more difficult the cell reselection
from the serving cell is triggered, and the less possibly that
the pingpong reselection occurs.
Parameter ID
Description
ThreshXhigh
Indicates the high priority reselection threshold of the interfrequency EARFCN. It is used to control the difficulty level of the
reselection of the inter-RAT UTRAN cell with the high-priority

ThrshServLow
Indicates the low priority inter-frequency/inter-RAT reselection

threshold of the serving frequency. This parameter is applied to
scenarios of deciding the low priority inter-frequency/inter-RAT
reselection of the UE. The condition of this scenario is: Cells of the
same serving frequency and cells of high-priority frequency fail to
meet inter-frequency/inter-RAT reselection criteria. The greater
the value is, the more possibly the reselection to the low priority
cell occurs.
Parameter ID
Description
ThreshXlow
Indicates the low priority reselection threshold of the interfrequency EARFCN. It is used to control the difficulty level of the
reselection of the inter-RAT UTRAN cell with the low-priority
EARFCN. The larger the value of this parameter, the more difficult
the reselection is.
Parameter ID
Description
Indicates the low priority reselection threshold of the inter-RAT

GERAN ARFCN. It is used to control the difficulty level of the
(MOD GERANNFREQGROUP) reselection of the low priority inter-RAT GERAN ARFCN. The larger
the value of this parameter, the more difficult the reselection is.
ThreshXlow
ThreshXlow
(MOD UTRANNFREQ)
Indicates the low priority reselection threshold of the inter-RAT

UTRAN frequency. It is used to control the difficulty level of the
reselection of the low priority inter-RAT UTRAN frequency. The
larger this value is set, the more difficult the reselection is.
Based on the contents of the System Information (SI) messages, SI is divided into one
Master Information Block (MIB) and 11 System Information Blocks (SIBs). SI messages are
transmitted over the BCCH.
The scheduling period and transport format of the MIB is predefined ,therefore, the UE
receives the MIB on the BCH without obtaining other information on the network.
The SIB1 is transmitted over the Downlink Shared Channel (DL-SCH), the scheduling period
of the SIB1 is 80 ms.
The SIB1 carries the scheduling period information of other SIBs.
Other SIBs are transmitted over the DL-SCH also, and the scheduling periods can be
separately set. The SIBs with the same scheduling period can be transmitted together.
The MIB is transmitted over the BCH. The scheduling period of the MIB is 40 ms. The first
transmission of the MIB is scheduled in subframe 0 of radio frames for which the SFN mod
4 = 0, and repetitions are scheduled in subframe 0 of the last three radio frames in each
period.
SIB1 is mandatory SIB and send in DL-SCH
The scheduling period of the SIB1 is fixed to 80 ms. The first transmission of the SIB1 is
scheduled in subframe 5 of radio frames for which the SFN mod 8 = 0, and repetitions are
scheduled in subframe 5 of the later radio frames for which SFN mod 2 = 0 in each period.
The scheduling periods of other SIBs are determined by the SibxPeriod (x = 2, 3, , 8)

parameter.
Parameter ID
Description
SiMapInd
Indicates whether the mapping from SIBs to SI messages is

enabled.
SibxPeriod(x=2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
Indicates the transmission period of SIBx(x=2,3,4,5,6,7,8). The SIBs

with the same transmission period can be mapped to the same SI.
After obtaining the SI message properly, the UE does not read the message repeatedly. It
updates the SI message only in the following scenarios:
The UE receives the SI message change notification in the paging message

transmitted from the eNodeB.
The UE receives the ETWS (ETWS: Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System)
message broadcast notification in the paging message transmitted from the
eNodeB.
The UE receives the SI message 3 hours after receiving an SI message.
The modification period of the SI message is N radio frames, and the period starts from
radio frames for which SFN mod n = 0. During the n modification period, the eNodeB
transmits the paging message to inform UEs in RRC_IDLE mode and UEs in
RRC_CONNECTED mode about the SI message change when a paging cycle arrives. When
the n+1 modification period arrives, the eNodeB transmits the updated SI message.
The modification period of the SI message is N radio frames, and the period starts from
radio frames for which SFN mod n = 0. During the n modification period, the eNodeB
transmits the paging message to inform UEs in RRC_IDLE mode and UEs in
RRC_CONNECTED mode about the SI message change when a paging cycle arrives. When
the n+1 modification period arrives, the eNodeB transmits the updated SI message.
The length of the SI modification period n = ModifyPeriodCoeff x DefaultPagingCycle
where:
ModifyPeriodCoeff is the coefficient of the modification period, indicating the
minimum number of interceptions on the paging messages for the UE in the SI
message modification period.
DefaultPagingCycle is the default paging cycle in the unit of radio frames.
ModifyPeriodCoeff and DefaultPagingCycle are broadcast in the SIB2.
Parameter ID
ModifyPeriodCoeff
(MOD BCCHCFG)
DefaultPagingCycle
(MOD PCCHCFG)
Description
Indicates the modification period coefficient for the BCCH.

ModifyPeriod = ModifyPeriodCoeff x defaultPagingCycle, where
ModifyPeriod means the BCCH modification period (unit: radio
frame), ModifyPeriodCoeff means the modification period
coefficient for the BCCH, and defaultPagingCycle means the
default paging cycle (unit: radio frame).
Indicates the default paging period. It is also called DRX period. If
the EPC specifies the DRX period, this parameter is compared with
the DRX period specified by the EPC. The UE uses the smaller one
between the two DRX periods. If the EPC does not specify the DRX
period, the period is specified by this parameter, whose value is
delivered to the UE with the system information.
The TA is a concept introduced to the LTE/SAE system for location management of UEs.
The EPC sends paging messages to all eNodeBs in the TA. A TA is identified by a Tracking
Area Identity (TAI), which consists of the MCC, MNC, and Tracking Area Code (TAC).
eNodeB broadcast the tracking area code by SIB1.
A UE informs the EPC of its Tracking Area (TA) by TA registration. There are two ways for
the UE TA registration:
Attach/Detach
TA update
When a UE needs to obtain service from a network but is not registered to the network,
the UE performs an Attach procedure for TA registration.
After a successful Attach procedure, the UE is allocated an IP address. The Mobile

Equipment Identity (MEI) of the UE will be sent to the Mobility Management Entity (MME)
for authentication.
When the UE fails to access the EPC or the EPC does not allow the access of the UE, a
Detach procedure is initiated. After the Detach procedure, the EPC no longer pages the UE.
Parameter ID
Description
TAC
Indicates the tracking area code of the cell. It uniquely identifies a

tracking area within a PLMN.
UEs in RRC_IDLE mode use DRX to receive paging messages in order to reduce power consumption.
The eNodeB may have to buffer the paging message until a UEs paging occasion occurs.
The time positions of paging messages are fixed on the Uu interface, which are indicated by the
Paging Frames (PFs) and Paging Occasion (PO) subframes. One PF is one radio frame, which may
contain one or multiple Pos. One PO is a subframe where the Paging Radio Network Temporary
Identifier (P-RNTI) is contained. The PO is transmitted over the PDCCH. UEs read paging messages
over the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) according to the P-RNTI.
The PF number and PO subframe number can be calculated according to the IMSI of the UE, DRX
cycle, and number of PO subframes in a DRX cycle. Frame numbers are stored in the SI related to
the DRX parameters of the UE. When the DRX parameters change, PF number and PO subframe
number change accordingly.
The SFN of a PF is derived from the following formula:
SFN mod T = (T div N) x (UE_ID mod N)
The subframe number i_s of a PO is derived from the following formula:
i_s =Floor (UE_ID/N) mod Ns
For FDD and TDD, the PO subframe patterns are different, because for TDD mode, some of
the subframes are of uplink.

TDD Subframe Patterns
The meaning of parameters is following:
T is the length of a DRX cycle. It is determined by the shortest UE-specific DRX

cycle. The value of T can be either signaled from the NAS or specified by the
DefaultPagingCycle parameter. If the NAS indicates the DRX cycle, the UE
compares the value signaled from the NAS and the value of DefaultPagingCycle
and uses the smaller value between them. If the NAS does not indicate the DRX
cycle, the value of T is determined by the DefaultPagingCycle parameter and sent
to the UE through an SI message.
N is min(T,NB). The NB parameter specifies the number of PO subframes in a DRX
cycle. Based on the actual configuration on the eNodeB, NB can be set to 4T, 2T,
T, T/2, T/4, T/8, T/16, or T/32.
Ns is max(1,NB/T).
UE_ID is IMSI mod 1024. If a UE without IMSI makes an emergency call, the UE
should use the default UE_ID value of 0.
If NB is greater, more subframes are used for paging.
Following are some FDD examples:
Example1:
Example2:
Example3:
Example4:
In each DRX cycle, a UE monitors one P-RNTI transmitted on the PDCCH only in this PO
and reads the paging messages on the PDSCH. Different UEs may have the same PO. If UEs
are paged by the MME in the same PO, the paging records must be combined into the
same paging message in RRC layer . When certain UE-specific paging and group paging
triggered by change of an SI message occur simultaneously, the paging messages must
also be combined in RRC layer .
Parameter ID
Description
DefaultPagingCycle
Indicates the default paging period. It is also called DRX period. If

the EPC specifies the DRX period, this parameter is compared with
the DRX period specified by the EPC. The UE uses the smaller one
between the two DRX periods. If the EPC does not specify the DRX
period, the period is specified by this parameter, whose value is
delivered to the UE with the system information.
NB
Indicates the number of paging occasions (in units of subframes),

that is, the number of paging groups, within a paging cycle.

Parameter Description
ID
EutranIntra CellQoffset Indicates the cell specific offset between the serving cell and the intra-frequency neighboring cell that is related to triggering
FreqNCell

contained in SIB4. For details, see 3GPP TS 36.331.
CellResel CellReselPrioIndicates the reselection priority of the cells assigned with the same frequency as the serving one. 0 indicates the lowest
rity
priority. The value of this parameter must be determined together with the priorities of other frequencies during the network
planning.
PCCHCfg DefaultPagi Indicates the default paging cycle of the cell, which is also referred to as the default DRX cycle. If the EPC indicates a DRX
ngCycle
cycle, the UE uses the shorter one between the default cycle and the cycle indicated by the EPC. If the EPC does not indicate a
DRX cycle, the cycle specified by this parameter is used and sent to the UE through the system information. For details, see
3GPP TS 36.304.
The larger the value of this parameter is, the more power-efficient the UE is, but the longer the paging response delay is.
BcchCfg ModifyPerio Indicates the modification period coefficient for the BCCH. ModifyPeriod = ModifyPeriodCoeff x defaultPagingCycle, where
dCoeff
ModifyPeriod means the BCCH modification period (unit: radio frame), ModifyPeriodCoeff means the modification period
coefficient for the BCCH, and defaultPagingCycle means the default paging cycle (unit: radio frame).
PCCHCfg NB
Indicates the number of paging occasions (subframes or times of paging) contained in a paging cycle.
For details, see 3GPP TS 36.304.
Cell
PhyCellId Indicates the physical cell ID. For details, see 3GPP TS 36.331.

CellResel Qhyst
Indicates the hysteresis for the RSRP measurement on the serving cell, which is used during the evaluation of cell reselection.
This parameter must be set on the basis of the slow fading characteristic of the area covered by the cell. That is, the greater
the slow fading variance is, the larger the value of the hysteresis should be. A larger value of the hysteresis results in a bigger
boundary of the serving cell and a higher probability of cell reselection to neighboring cells.
DB0_Q_HYST means 0dB of hysteresis. DB1_Q_HYST means 1dB of hysteresis.

When the parameter is set to NOT_CFG, the measurement triggering threshold of the intra-frequency cell reselection is not
configured.
CellResel SNonIntraSe Indicates the measurement triggering threshold for the reselection of the inter-frequency/inter-RAT cell. The step is 2.
arch
When the reselection priority is higher than the serving frequency of the inter-frequency/inter-RAT, the UE always triggers the
measurement.
If the reselection priority of the inter-frequency is less than or equal to the serving frequency or when the reselection priority
of the inter-RAT is less than the serving frequency, the UE does not trigger the inter-frequency/inter-RAT measurement when
the signal quality of the serving cell is higher than this parameter, and triggers the inter-frequency/inter-RAT measurement
when the signal quality of the serving cell is lower than this parameter.
CellResel SNonIntraSe Indicates whether to configure the measurement triggering threshold of the inter-frequency/inter-RAT cell reselection.
archCfgInd When the parameter is set to CFG, the measurement triggering threshold of the inter-frequency/inter-RAT cell reselection is
configured. When the parameter is set to NOT_CFG, the measurement triggering threshold of the inter-frequency/inter-RAT
cell reselection is not configured.

priorities (used for cell reselection) retain valid. The time period is contained in the RRCConnectionRelease message
that is received by the UE. After T320 expires, the dedicated priorities become invalid.
This timer is started when the UE receives an RRCConnectionRelease message containing the t320 IE.
This timer is stopped when the UE enters the RRC_CONNECTED mode.

which the dedicated priorities (used for cell reselection) retain valid. The time period is contained in the
RRCConnectionRelease message that is received by the UE. After T320 expires, the dedicated priorities become
invalid.
This timer is started when the UE receives an RRCConnectionRelease message containing the t320 IE.
This timer is stopped when the UE enters the RRC_CONNECTED mode.
GeranNfreqGroThreshXHigh Indicates the threshold for reselection to a GERAN neighboring cell assigned with the higher priority carrier
up
frequency group. It is used to control the difficulty level of reselection to the GERAN neighboring cell. That is, the
larger the value of this parameter, the more difficult the reselection is. For details, see 3GPP TS 36.331.
Cdma2000Ban ThreshXHigh Indicates the threshold for reselection to a CDMA200 cell assigned with the higher-priority CDMA2000 band class.
dClass
UtranNFreq
ThreshXHigh Indicates the threshold for reselection to a UTRAN cell assigned with the higher-priority ARFCN. It is used to control
the difficulty level of reselection to the UTRAN cell. That is, the larger this value is set, the more difficult the
reselection is. For details, see 3GPP TS 36.331.
EutranInterNFr ThreshXHigh Indicates the threshold for reselection to an inter-frequency cell assigned with the higher-priority EARFCN. It is used
eq
to control the difficulty level of reselection to the inter-frequency cell. That is, the larger the value of this parameter,
the more difficult the reselection is. For details, see 3GPP TS 36.331.
GeranNfreqGroThreshXLow Indicates the threshold for reselection to a GERAN cell assigned with the lower-priority carrier frequency group. It is
up
used to control the difficulty level of the reselection to the GERAN cell. That is, the larger the value of this parameter,
Cdma2000Ban ThreshXLow Indicates the threshold for reselection to a CDMA2000 cell assigned with the lower-priority CDMA2000 band class.

UtranNFreq
ThreshXLow Indicates threshold for reselection to a UTRAN cell assigned with the lower-priority ARFCN. It is used to control the
difficulty level of reselection to the UTRAN cell. That is, the larger the value of this parameter, the more difficult the
reselection is. For details, see 3GPP TS 36.331.
EutranInterNFr ThreshXLow Indicates the threshold for reselection to an inter-frequency cell assigned with the lower priority EARFCN. It is used

to control the difficulty level of reselection to the inter-frequency cell. That is, the larger the value of this parameter,
CellResel
ThrshServLowIndicates the low priority inter-frequency/inter-RAT reselection threshold of the serving frequency. This parameter is
applied to scenarios of deciding the low priority inter-frequency/inter-RAT reselection of the UE. The condition of this
scenario is: Cells of the same serving frequency and cells of high-priority frequency fail to meet inter-frequency/interRAT reselection criteria. The greater the value is, the less possibly the reselection to the low priority cell occurs.
CellResel
TReselEutran Indicates the cell reselection duration of the E-UTRAN. When the signal quality of the new cell is better than the
serving cell all the time and the UE stays in the current serving cell for more than 1s, the UE is initiating cell
reselection request to the new cell. The smaller the parameter is, the easier the cell reselection from the serving cell
is triggered, and the more possibly that the pingpong reselection occurs. The bigger the parameter is, the more
difficult the cell reselection from the serving cell is triggered, and the less possibly that the pingpong reselection
occurs.
CellReselGeran TReselGeran Indicates the cell reselection duration of GERAN cell reselection. When the signal quality of the serving cell is lower
than the low priority reselection threshold all the time and the signal of the new cell is higher than the low priority
reselection threshold all the time, and the UE stays in the current serving cell for more than 1s, then the UE is
initiating cell reselection request to the new cell. The lower the parameter is, the easier it is for the UE to initiate cell
reselection. However, the Ping-Pong reselection probability is increased. The higher the parameter is, the harder it is
for the UE to initiate cell reselection. The Ping-Pong reselection probability, however, is reduced.
CellReselUtran TReselUtran Indicates the cell reselection duration of UTRAN cell reselection. When the signal quality of the serving cell is lower
than the low priority reselection threshold all the time and the signal of the new cell is higher than the low priority
reselection threshold all the time, and the UE stays in the current serving cell for more than 1s, then the UE is
initiating cell reselection request to the new cell. The lower the parameter is, the easier it is for the UE to initiate cell
reselection. However, the Ping-Pong reselection probability is increased. The higher the parameter is, the harder it is
for the UE to initiate cell reselection. The Ping-Pong reselection probability, however, is reduced.
