Cell Selection - LTE
• Cell selection for LTE is permitted when the following equation returns a
positive result:
Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas – (Qrxlevmin + QrxlevminOffset) – Pcompensation
• Qrxlevmin is defined using the parameter shown below

• UE are permitted to camp on an LTE cell when the RSRP exceeds -120 dBm
LTE Param.
Name Range Design Description

qrxlevmin -140 to -44 dBm -120 dBm Specifies the minimum required RX RSRP level in
the cell. (Qrxlevmin in 36.304)
(LNCEL)
• Qrxlevminoffset and Pcompensation are not used by the current design

Cell Selection - UMTS
• Cell selection on LTE is permitted when both of the following equations return
positive results:
Squal = Qqualmeas – (Qqualmin + QqualminOffset)
Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas – Qrxlevmin – Pcompensation
• The Pcompensation is based upon the UEtxPowerMaxPRACH parameter

QqualMin -24 to 0 dB -18 dB This parameter defines the minimum required quality
level in the cell (Ec/No). It is used for cell selection and
(WCEL) re-selection in both idle and connected mode.
UMTS Parameters

QrxlevMin -119 to -25 dBm -115 dBm This parameter defines the minimum required RX
level in the cell. It is used for cell selection and re-
(WCEL) selection in both idle and connected mode.

UEtxPowerMaxPRACH -50 to 33 dBm 24 dBm This parameter defines the maximum
transmission power level that a UE can use on
(WCEL) PRACH. The value of the parameter also effects
the cell selection and reselection procedures.
Cell Selection - GSM
• Cell selection on GSM is permitted when the following equation returns a

positive result:
C1 = (A - Max(B,0))
Where,
A = RLA_C - RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN
B = MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH – P
• RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN is defined using the parameters below

• UE are permitted to camp on a GSM cell when the RSSI exceeds -105 dBm

(BTS) allowed to access the cell.
LTE Idle Mode Mobility
Absolute Priorities - LTE
• Absolute Priorities are used for Idle mode cell reselection

• LTE is allocated the highest priority
• UMTS900 is allocated a lower priority than UMTS2100
• GSM is allocated the lowest priority
• This approach holds all LTE capable devices on LTE
• UE only move away from LTE when coverage becomes poor
LTE800 Priority 6/5
UMTS2100 Priority 3
UMTS2100 Priority 3
UMTS900 Priority 2

Name
cellReSelPrio 0 to 7 5 The cell reselection priority parameter defines the
absolute priority of the serving layer. 0 means the
(LNCEL) lowest priority. Equal priorities between RATs are not
supported according to [3GPP 36.304].
• UMTS priorities are defined within the UFFIM object

• This single object can include multiple instances of the uCelResPrio parameter
(1 instance per UMTS RF carrier)
• The design uses 3 instances of the uCelResPrio parameter
LTE Param.

uCelResPrio 0 to 7 UMTS900: 2 Absolute priority of the UTRA carrier frequency
UMTS2100 (F1): 3 Equal priorities between RATs are not supported
(UFFIM) according to [3GPP 36.304].)

Intra-Frequency Cell Reselection
LTE
Intra-Frequency Cell Reselection - LTE
• Measurements for intra-frequency cell reselection are triggered when the
following equation is satisfied:
Qrxlevmeas – Qrxlevmin ≤ Sintrasearch
• The design sets Sintrasearch to a value of 62 dB so measurements are

triggered when the RSRP becomes weaker than -67 dBm
• This means that measurements are triggered across the entire cell area

LTE Param.
sIntrasearch 0 to 62 dB 62 dB The Sintrasearch parameter defines the threshold (in dB)

for intra-frequency measurements. The UE can omit
(LNCEL) measurements of intra-frequency neighbor cells if the
serving cell is above a certain threshold.
UE measures
across entire cell
• After measurements have been triggered, intra-frequency cell reselection is
based upon ranking the serving cell against any neighbouring cells using
Rs = Qmeas,s +Qhyst
Rn = Qmeas,n + Qoffset
• The value of Qhyst has been aligned with the value used on the UMTS network
LTE Param.

qHyst 0 to 24 dB 2 dB The Qhyst parameter provides the hysteresis value in dB
for ranking criteria in the cell reselection procedure. The
(LNCEL) parameter is used to minimize pingpong.
• The value of Qoffset is set to 0 dB by default across the network

• Neighbour specific values may be set at Tracking Area boundaries to help
reduce ping-pong and Tracking Area Update procedures
LTE Param.

qOffsetCell -24 to +24 dB 0 dB The parameter defines a cell-specific offset (in dB) that is
used in the cell reselection procedure.

timer value. It allows averaging of the target cell quality
(LNCEL) before cell reselection is performed.
• The minimum RSRP requirement for neighbouring cells has been set equal to
the minimum RSRP requirement for the serving cell
• Minimum RSRP requirement for neighbouring cells is defined within the LNCEL
object so cannot be defined per neighbour

• When a cell is barred, it is possible to prevent cell reselection onto any cell on
the same RF carrier as the barred cell
• This is controlled using the parameter shown below
• The design allows cell reselection onto cells using the same RF carrier as a
barred cell

Qrxlevmeas(neigh cell) – Qrxlevmin(neigh cell) > Threshx,low
• The value of Threshserving,low is defined by the threshSrvLow parameter

• set to a value of 6 dB (aligned with Snonintrasearch ) so condition is
satisfied as soon as measurements are triggered
• The value of Threshx,low is defined by the utraFrqThrL parameter

(LNCEL) cells or E-UTRA cells.
• The figures below illustrate a potential issue with the current design
• cell edge UE may reselect UMTS and immediately trigger reselection to GSM
• Reselection directly to GSM can be forced by increasing the Qqualmin threshold
for UMTS on the LTE network, i.e. do not allow reselection to UMTS if the UMTS
signal is so weak that reselection to GSM is going to be immediately triggered

LTE to GSM
Inter-System Cell Reselection – LTE to GSM
• Measurements are triggered using the same threshold as for cell reselection to
UMTS, i.e.
Qrxlevmeas – Qrxlevmin ≤ Snonintrasearch
• This means that both UMTS and GSM measurements are triggered at the
same time
• UMTS is allocated a higher absolute priority so cell reselection towards UMTS
is completed in preference to cell reselection towards GSM
• The design sets Snonintrasearch to a value of 6 dB so measurements are
LTE Param.

sNonIntrsearch 0 to 62 dB 6 dB The sNonintrsearch parameter defines the threshold
(in dB) for inter-RAT and inter-frequency
(LNCEL) measurements.
Inter-System Cell Reselection – LTE to GSM
• After measurements have been triggered, inter-system cell reselection to GSM
is attempted if the following conditions are satisfied (and if cell reselection to
UMTS is not possible)
Qrxlevmeas(serving cell) – Qrxlevmin(serving cell) < Threshserving,low

Qrxlevmeas(neigh cell) – Qrxlevmin(neigh cell) > Threshx,low
• These equations are the same as those used for cell reselection to UMTS
• The main differences are that the values of Qrxlevmin(neigh cell) and Threshx,low
are now based upon GNFL parameters rather than UFFIM parameters
• The value of Threshx,low is defined by the gerFrqThrL parameter

gerFrqThrH 0 to 62 dB 0 dB This specifies the threshold used by the UE when
reselecting towards a higher priority frequency X than
(GNFL) the currently serving frequency
Inter-System Cell Reselection – LTE to GSM Neighbours
• It is necessary to define GSM neighbours in terms of their RF carrier

• This can be planned on a cell-by-cell basis, or all BCCH carriers can be listed in
all LTE cells
• The latter approach
• avoids the requirement for neighbour planning
• is practical as long as the number of BCCH carriers is not too high
• GSM carriers are specified using multiple instances of the gerArfcnVal
parameter within the GNFL object
• each GNFL object can accommodate 32 GSM RF carriers
• this network uses less than 32 BCCH carriers so the complete set can be
listed within all LTE cells using a single GNFL object

Intra-Frequency Cell Reselection - UMTS
• Measurements for intra-frequency cell reselection are triggered when the
Squal ≤ Sintrasearch Squal = Qqualmeas – Qqualmin
