Cell Re selection is a procedure used to change the cell after the UE is camped on a cell and stays
in the Idle mode.This procedure is used to let the UE get camped on a cell which has the best radio
conditions among all the other cells on which the UE is allowed to camp on.
1. PRIORITY
2. RADIO LINK QUALITY
3. CELL ACCESSIBILITY
PRIORITY
This is a parameter specifying the priority of EUTRA-FA(Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access-
Foreign Area) during idle re-selection or mobility control information.
LTE cell re-selection uses priority based levels starting from 0 to 7 as per 3GPP 36.331 where
Priority 0 is Lowest and Priority 7 is highest. This value can be seen in SIB3 as
cellReselectionPriority Information Element (IE).
An example is shown for a multi carrier vendor is shown as below. The operator has 3 carrier 2300
MHz, 1800 MHz and 850 MHz which different Bandwidth. The Priority here is decided based on the
channel bandwidth, highest channel bandwidth is given highest re-selection priority.
Frequency PRIORITY
2300(20MHz) 7
1800(5 MHz) 5
850(10MHz) 6
CELL SELECTION
UE performs cell selection based on RSRP level as per 3GPP Rel 8 or consider both RSRP and
RSRQ level as per 3GPP Rel9.
The criteria for cell selection is that the Srxlev > 0 [Definition and details about Srxlev is available in
the table below].
Q_RX_LEV_MIN This parameter is minimum RX level -128 dBm ( IE value in SIB 1 is -64 )
required in a cell that is operating as
EUTRA-FA and its unit is dBm
(measured RSRP). Value is found in SIB
1 , SIB3 and is Calculated as Value in
dBm/0.5
Hysteresis=0 dB, Measured value is fluctuating around the target value causing a lot of unnecessary
measurement report
Case 2:
Hysteresis= 2dB, Even though the measured value is fluctuating around the target it does not trigger
measurement report unless it fluctuates wider than hysteresis(Pink).
Serving_Srxlev > Sintrasearch – Do not perform intra frequency measurement for example:
If measured RSRP of the serving cell is -80 dBm
Then Srxlev=-80 + 128= 48 [ Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas – Qrxlevmin (-128)]
Srxlev is 48 which is >31 (Sintrasearch Value) Do not perform intra frequency
measurement
S_NON_INTRA_SEARCHThis specifies the Srxlev threshold (in dB) for E-UTRAN inter-
frequency and inter-RAT measurements.Actual value of threshold is the value * 2 (dB).
Example
THRESHX PARAMETERS: ThreshX parameters are used in LTE for idle mode cell
reselection towards a different LTE Frequency .We have 2 parameters ThreshXlow and
ThreshXHigh .The 2 parameters relate to the target cell.
ThreshXHigh: The threshold used in the UE to reselect a frequency whose priority is higher
than the current camped frequency.If the user has to move from a low priority
LTE frequency band to higher priority LTE then the neighbor/ target LTE must have
the Srxlev>ThreshXHigh.Settings 12/14
Measurement Neighbor cell priority>Serving cell priority =Always perform inter frequency
measurement
Condition for cell reselection: RSRP Neighbor /Target cell > target_qrxlevmin (SIB5,-64,-
128 dBm) + threshXHigh (SIB5,14,28 dB) =-100 dBm
Thresh_Xlow:This specifies the Srxlev threshold (dB) used by the UE on the serving cell
when re-selecting towards a lower priority inter-RAT frequency (SIB3)
Example Settings
Frequency Example IE value Formula Calculated Value
This value is found in SIB 5 .If the user has to move from a high priority band to a low priority band
then the target low priority band must have theSrxlev greater than Thresh_Xlow. The threshold used
to re-select low-priority frequency from high-priority frequency.
