Cell Selection
These 2 parameters allow the carrier to reserve or limit access to the

cells in the network;
CellReserved Reserved ; Not Reserved (If

Reserved, there will be no service to UEs)
AccessClassNBarred [0-65535] (Each bit corresponds to

an Access Class)
Cell Selection
Cell selection criteria:
IF
Squal > 0
AND
Srxlev > 0
then cell selection criteria are met
CPICH Ec/No [dB] measured by UE

Sent on SIB3
Squal = Qqualmeas qQualMin
Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas qRxLevMin - Pcompesation
CPICH RSCP [dBm] measured by UE max(maxTxPowerUl - P, 0)
Cell Reselection
Cell Reselection happens;

When the UE is camped normally has found a better neighbouring cell than the cell on which it is
camping
When the cell on which it is camping is no longer suitable
The cells to camp on are ranked based on R criteria;
R (serving) = Qmeas(s) + qHyst(s)

R (neighbour) = Qmeas(n) - qOffset(s,n)
qHyst1 CPICH RSCP qOffset1sn CPICH RSCP

qHyst2 CPICH Ec/No qOffset2sn CPICH Ec/No
QMeas can be either RSCP or Ec/No depending on the value of

parameter QualMeasQuantity. For GSM cells it always is RSCP.
For WCDMA it is Ec/No by default

Same idea as in GSM, serving cells are favored while neighbors are penalized
Measurements in Idle Mode
UE starts Intra-frequency measurements if :

Squal<=sIntraSearch [2 dB]
UE starts Inter-Frequency measurements if :

Squal<=sInterSearch [2 dB]
UE starts GSM measurements if :

Squal<=sRATSearch [2 dB]
And/or
Srxlev<=sHcsRat [2 dB]
Cell Reselection IRAT
treSelection (2 sec.)
IeF & IRAT Measurements in Cell_FACH mode
Measurements are controlled by 2 parameters in Cell_FACH mode;
interFreqFddMeasIndicator: TRUE or FALSE depending on presence of IeF

neighbors
TRUE UE will perform measurements and evaluate cell reselection
criteria on IeF cells
FALSE UE will not perform measurements and will not evaluate cell
reselection criteria on IeF cells
fachMeasOccaCycLenCoeff = 4 with this setting the UE will leave the

FACH channel every 16th frame to perform measurements on IeF or IRAT
neighbors
(2fachMeasOccaCycLenCoeff = 24 = 16 (IeF or IRAT) or 23=8 (IeF and IRAT) )
Mobility Management Registrations

Paging
UEs can be paged on;
Idle Mode (Type I) via PICH & PCH [S-CCPCH]

Cell_FACH Mode (Type II) via DCH
Cell_DCH Mode (Type II) via DCH
Idle Mode Paging

PCH is only decoded when PICH indicates that there is a paging for UEs paging group
DRX (Discontinuous Reception) is used to limit battery consumption in idle mode

Master / System Information Blocks
The UE reads the system information on the BCCH when the following events occur:
UE is powered up
UE changes cell in Idle mode or in state CELL_FACH
UE is informed of a change of System Information, when the UE is in Idle mode or state
CELL_FACH
UE moves from dedicated mode to common mode
Timer expires for SIBs
Master The SIBs contain all information

Information necessary for UEs to work properly in
both Idle and Connected mode
Block
Each SIB contains different kinds of
information
System System System Each SIB has its own repetition period
Information Information Information (sibxRepPeriod)
Block 1 Block 3 Block n The MIB has a fixed, predefined
repetition rate equal to 80 ms
