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

 For FDD cells:  Qmeas < Qqualmin + Sintrasearch  Rserving= Qmeas,s + Qhyst2s
 Srxlev > 0
&  Rneighbor= Qmeas,n - Qoffset2s,n
 Squal >0

 For GSM cells:

 Srxlev > 0

 Squal = Qqualmeas – Qqualmin

The UE should reselect a suitable WCDMA cell if these criteria are met
 Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas – Qrxlevmin – for a period of treSelection
Pcompensation

* Pcompensation = max
(UE_TXPWR_MAX_RACH - P_MAX, 0)
(dB)
P_MAX is the maximum transmission
