Measurement
• Despite the current signal level, serving cell will measure the
neighbor high priority cell:
• Measurement condition for lower priority cell:
Ms <= Qrxlevmin + SNonIntraSearch
• Remarks:
Qrxlevmin: Minimum required RX level, Default value is -64, unit is
2(dBm)

Default value is 9, unit is 2(dB)
• Relative Command
MOD CELLRESEL / LST CELLRESEL

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 12

Different priority cell reselection – Trigger
• Trigger condition for high priority:
Mn > Qrxlevmin + ThreshXHigh
• Trigger condition for lower priority:
Ms < Qrxlevmin + ThrshServLow & Mn > Qrxlevmin + ThreshXLow
• Remarks:
ThreshXHigh: Inter frequency high priority threshold, Default value is 11, unit is
2(dB)
ThreshXLow: Inter frequency lower priority threshold, Default value is 11, unit is
2(dB)
ThrshServLow: Serving frequency lower priority threshold, Default value is 7,
unit is 2(dB)
ThreshXHigh must no larger than ThreshXLow for the same cell
• Relative Command
For ThreshXHigh and ThreshXLow:
MOD EUTRANINTERNFREQ / LST EUTRANINTERNFREQ

MOD EUTRANINTERNFREQ:LOCALCELLID=0,DLEARFCN=2225,THRESHXHIGH=10,THRESHXLOW=12;
Notice: As ThreshXHigh must no larger than ThreshXLow, so change ThreshXLow concomitantly
