Apparatus and Method for Processing Priority Information in a Wireless Device

摘要

A user equipment capable of performing reselection in a wireless network is disclosed. The user equipment comprises: 1) a controller configured to perform reselection between cells according to a priority-based reselection (PBR) algorithm using priority information; 2) transceiver circuitry configured to operate in cells using at least one radio access technology and to receive incoming messages including the priority information; and 3) a memory configured to store the received priority information. The controller is further configured to compare the received priority information with defined limits stored in the memory and to determine if the received priority information exceeds the defined limits.

1. A method in a user equipment configured to perform reselection between cells according to a priority-based reselection (PBR) algorithm using priority information, the method comprising:
receiving an incoming message including priority information; determining if the received priority information comprises priority information for at least one of:
i) more than a first number of UTRAN FDD frequencies,ii) more than a second number of UTRAN TDD frequencies, oriii) more than a third number of E-UTRAN frequencies; and in response to a determination that the received priority information comprises priority information for more than the first number of UTRAN FDD frequencies, or more than the second number of UTRAN TDD frequencies, or more than the third number of E-UTRAN frequencies, performing cell reselection without regard to the received priority information.
