1. A method for selecting a cell, comprising:
detecting the cell in a mobile network by a user equipment (UE); selecting the cell as a candidate for cell selection based on a signal received by the UE; receiving at least one synchronization signal by the UE from the cell; determining a physical layer cell identity (PCI) of the cell based on the at least one synchronization signal; retrieving PCI range information stored in the UE; deducing, from the PCI of the cell and the PCI range information, a cell type of the cell in the mobile network; and performing selection of the cell by the UE based on the cell type.
