This information is stored in the SIM. To control the load of the RACH the operator can forbid some classes to access the cell.

Normally the cell re-selection is harmless in terms of signalling from the point of view of the Network.
However when the process involves a change in the Location Area the MS will recognize the need for
MS Moving Location Update. To avoid ping pong effects on the border of a Location Area, an hysteresis is introduced. LA2 LA1 A = 4 dB 1

Directed Retry (DR) - 1

DR used to avoid the loss of a call in call-setup if the accessed cell is congested When no TCH is available in serving cell, TCH can be allocated in an adjacent cell (SDCCH TCH HO) Mobile Originated (MOC) and Mobile Terminated (MTC) Calls TCH Target cell entry based on DR Method; SDCCH Method 0 - RxLevAccessMin Method 1 - drThreshold congested Imperative Handover Candidates ranked based on radio properties. Steps through candidates (if congested) until MaxTimeLimitDR expires Queuing can take place in source cell, not in target cell.

Measurements averaged over 5 seconds for serving Cell BCCH adjacent Cell BCCHs Strongest is considered BCCH data decoded (cell selection param.) If C1 greater than 0, Cell not barred Cell belong to selected PLMN, Call re-establishment allowed Call re-establishment attempted
A counter is initialized at the value of the radioLinkTimeout
