Method and apparatus of inter-PLMN cell re-selection in a mobile communication terminal

摘要

A method and apparatus of performing an inter-PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network) cell reselection in a mobile communication terminal is disclosed. The invention includes checking whether system information including another PLMN BCCH (Broadcast Control CHannel) allocation list and an inter-PLMN cell reselection offset value is received and determining a reselection target cell using the received inter-PLMN cell reselection offset value when an inter-PLMN cell reselection is needed. Thus, network signaling caused by inter-PLMN location updating may be reduced.
