<p>A method for performing cell re-selection by a mobile communication unit operating within a cellular communication network, where the mobile communication unit is associated with at least one group, where the method comprises receiving a first signal from a serving cell; and receiving at least one second signal from at least one neighbouring cell. The method further comprises performing a comparison of at least one radio link parameter of the first signal with at least one radio link parameter of the second signal. The method further comprises determining whether to transition from the serving cell to at least one neighbour cell. In addition, the method comprises applying at least one group offset to at least one radio link parameter wherein the at least one group offset relates to at least one of the following: (i) the at least one group with which the mobile communication unit is associated; (ii) the serving cell; (iii) the at least one neighbouring cell. The group offset is used to provide a bias when considering the compared radio link parameters in relation to cell re-selection by the mobile communication unit.</p> |
