 System Information

The UE shall apply the system information acquisition procedure

Upon selecting a cell (e.g. upon power on) and reselecting a cell
After handover completion
After entering E-UTRA from another RAT
Upon return from out of coverage
Upon receiving a notification that system information has changed
Upon exceeding the maximum validity duration

SystemInformationBlocks (SIBs)
SIBs other than SIB1 are carried in SystemInformation (SI) messages
Mapping between SI messages and SIBs are flexibly configured by schedulinginfolist in SIB1

 System Information Control (3/3)
SIB Modification
A change is made to the system information when a system information parameter value changes, except for the warning message
parameter values (SIB10, 11, and 12).
When the UE receives the changed system information through paging, or the systemValueTag within SIB1, it applies the new system
information at the next modification period. The existing system information is maintained until the UE applies the new system
information

Initial Cell Selection

2013 Samsung Electronics 8

 PLMN Selection
USIM contains
A list of PLMN with associated access technology in priority order

PLMN selection
Automatic mode: UE utilizes a list of PLMNs in priority order. The highest priority PLMN is
selected
Manual mode: UE indicates to the user which PLMNs are available. Only when the user
makes a selection, UT tries to obtain normal service on the VPLMN

Support for PLMN selection

UE scans all RF channels in the E-UTRA bands to find available PLMNs
On each carrier, the UE search for the strongest cell and read its system information
Each found PLMN is reported to NAS as a high quality PLMN if the measured RSRP value is
greater than or equal to -110dBm

 Terminology
Mn is the measurement result of the neighbouring cell, not taking into account any offsets.
Ofn is the frequency specific offset of the frequency of the neighbour cell (i.e. offsetFreq as defined
within measObjectEUTRA corresponding to the frequency of the neighbour cell).
Ocn is the cell specific offset of the neighbour cell (i.e. cellIndividualOffset as defined within
measObjectEUTRA corresponding to the frequency of the neighbour cell), and set to zero if not
configured for the neighbour cell.
Ms is the measurement result of the serving cell, not taking into account any offsets.
Ofs is the frequency specific offset of the serving frequency (i.e. offsetFreq as defined within
measObjectEUTRA corresponding to the serving frequency).
Ocs is the cell specific offset of the serving cell (i.e. cellIndividualOffset as defined within
measObjectEUTRA corresponding to the serving frequency), and is set to zero if not configured for the
serving cell.
Hys is the hysteresis parameter for this event (i.e. hysteresis as defined within reportConfigEUTRA for
this event).
Off is the offset parameter for this event (i.e. a3-Offset as defined within reportConfigEUTRA for this
event).
Mn, Ms are expressed in dBm in case of RSRP, or in dB in case of RSRQ.
Ofn, Ocn, Ofs, Ocs, Hys, Off are expressed in dB.
