PRIORITY BASED CELL RESELECTION

摘要

A user equipment (UE) expedites cell reselection from a higher priority radio access technology (RAT) to a lower priority RAT. In one instance, the UE determines whether a serving cell signal quality exceeds a threshold when a UE is in idle mode. The serving cell is associated with a higher priority RAT. In another instance, the UE performs an expedited search and measurement of cells of a lower priority RAT when the serving cell signal quality is below the threshold by commencing search and measurement before a next discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle scheduled for measurement.

1. A method of cell reselection in a wireless network, comprising:
determining whether a signal quality of a serving cell exceeds a threshold when a user equipment (UE) is in idle mode, the serving cell being associated with a higher priority radio access technology (RAT); and expediting search and measurement of cells of a lower priority RAT when the serving cell signal quality is below the threshold by commencing a search and measurement before a next discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle scheduled for measurement.
