PLMN Selection Principle
 When a dual-mode UE is powered on in an area covered by both the LTE
and the GERAN/UTRAN network, it needs to select a network to camp
on. The principles of network selection are as follows:
 After the dual-mode UE is powered on, it first tries the Registered Public Land
Mobile Network (RPLMN) and the cell that it previously camps on.
 If the RPLMN and cell do not meet the camp-on conditions, the UE selects a
proper PLMN and RAT according to the configurations in the UMTS Subscriber
Identity Module (USIM) and then a qualified cell.
 To improve user experience and make full use of the newly deployed LTE
network, the LTE network is usually set with the highest priority. The
public priorities are broadcast through system messages.

 After receiving all necessary system message, UE start to
measure RS (Reference Signal) for cell selection judgment
 RSRP and RSRQ can be evaluated
•Criteria for cell selection:

•Srxlev > 0 and Squal > 0
Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas - (Qrxlevmin + Qrxlevminoffset) – Pcompensation
Squal = Qqualmeas – (Qqualmin + Qqualminoffset)

 The parameter “Minimum Required RX quality level offset(dB)” will
appear only when the “Minimum required RX quality level offset configure
indicator” is configured as “CFG(Configure)”.

Cell Reselection Overview
 The signal strength of both the serving cell and neighboring
cells varies with the movement of a UE, so the UE needs to
select a better cell to camp on. This process is called cell

The Neighboring Cell Priority Overview
 During implying measurements and the cell reselection, the UE needs to
obtain the priorities of neighboring frequencies.
 Note: Frequencies of different RATs must have different priorities. During

the evaluation for reselection to an intra-frequency neighboring cell, the UE
ignores the priority of the target frequency because cells that work on the
same frequency have the same priority.
 The priorities of inter frequency and IRAT are classified into two types:
 Absolute priority
 Static configuration via MML
 Dedicated priority
 Assigned by RRC Conncection Release message and is valid for a specific

Dedicated Cell Reselection Priority
Configuration and Application Overview
•Dedicated cell reselection priority in RRC Release is received by UE when UE leave RRC-Connected state.
•Dedicated cell reselection priority is configured in eNodeB based on Operator policy for every SPID.

... ... ... ... ...
Step4: UE firstly applies dedicated priority before the optional

validity time of dedicated priorities (T320) expires.
By dedicated Priority based on SPID, Operators can make its subscribers to camp in a suitable RAT (a cell of LTE/UMTS/GSM) or
frequency (a cell of LTE) based on the service characteristics. For example, for a data centric subscriber, a LTE cell will be the more
suitable selection than an UMTS cell or a GSM cell; for a voice centric subscriber, a GSM cell or an UMTS cell will be the more
suitable selection than a LTE cell.
The Dedicated Priority Configuration for the
Flexible User Steering
 If flexible user steering feature is activated, we can set the dedicated priority based
on subscriber profile ID, and valid duration is 180 min.
 It is delivered to the UE in an RRC Connection Release message when the UE's

radio resources are released.
mapping
Timers Configuration of the Dedicate Priority
 A UE deletes priorities provided by dedicated signaling in any of the
following situations:
 The NAS signals the AS to perform PLMN selection.
 The UE enters the connected mode.
 The validity time (specified byT320) of the dedicated priority expires.
 The value of T320 is fixed to 180 minutes for UE’s SPID. Otherwise,
timers configured in the following figure will be used.
The IRAT Neighboring Measurement Overview
 Before the cell reselection, a UE performs measurements of

neighboring cells based on the RX signal level and quality of the
serving cell and frequency priorities of the neighboring cells.
 The UE only measures the neighboring frequencies broadcasted in

the system information and the neighboring frequencies whose
priority information is carried in the RRC Connection Release
message.

Inter-RAT Cell Selection Criteria
 During reselection to an inter-RAT neighboring cell, the Srxlev and Squal
values of inter-RAT neighboring cells need to be calculated as follows:
 UTRAN Neighboring cell
 Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas - (Qrxlevmin + Qrxlevminoffset) –

Pcompensation
 Squal = Qqualmeas - (Qqualmin + Qqualminoffset)
 GERAN Neighboring cell
 Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas - Qrxlevmin – Pcompensation
 CDMA2000 Neighboring cell
 Srxlev = -FLOOR(-2 x 10 x log10 Ec/Io)
 Reselection to an inter-RAT cell can be classified into reselection to

a higher-priority cell and reselection to a lower-priority cell.
