f a TDD or GSM cell is ranked as the best cell, then the UE
must perform cell re-selection to that TDD or GSM cell.
f a FDD cell is ranked as the best cell and
cell_selection_and_reselection-quality_measure is set to
CPCH RSCP, the UE shall perform cell re-selection to that
FDD cell.
f a FDD cell is ranked as the best cell and

The data interruption time is defined in this report as the total time that the data connection
(P connection) is lost due to the switching from 3G to GPRS. The gap is defined as the time
that the "Cell change order from UTRAN message is sent to UE until the first P datagram
