CELL SELECTION BASED ON CONGESTION LEVELS

摘要

A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (1) for selecting a cell from one or more cells based on associated congestion levels is provided. The method comprises acquiring (100) a cell congestion level for each cell from one or more cells 5-A of a first radio technology, the first radio technology being an access control radio technology, the cell congestion levels being acquired based on an access control parameters. The method also comprises using (200) the acquired congestion levels to determine whether at least one suitable candidate cell for providing service to the user equipment (1) exists among the one or more cells of the first radio technology. Cell of a second radio technology are considered if a suitable cell based on the first technology is not found. A user equipment, computer program product and computer program for cell selection based on congestion levels is also provided.
