The application relates to cell reselection, in particular for UTRAN and E-UTRA networks. The user terminal is configured to measure characteristics of radio channel of currently serving cell and neighbouring cells that are necessary for cell reselection. Typically such characteristics are measures relating to a signal strength and/or signal quality, such as CPICH RSCP, CPICH Ec/No in UTRAN, RSRP, and RSRQ in E-UTRA. However, utilization of either measure indicating signal strength or a measure indicating signal quality as a characteristic of a radio signal may cause serious problems, since e.g. in UTRAN the CPICH RSCP gives information on the coupling loss, but does not say anything on the interference. This problem is solved by configuring the mobile terminal to measure a value indicating signal strength and a value indicating signal quality as characteristics of a radio channel, i.e. the determination of a cell to be reselected is carried out by measuring values indicating signal strengths and values indicating signal quality. |
