Selection:

C1=RxLev(Received levels) - rxLevAccessMin

For a cell with rxLevAccessMin=10 (-100) , received levels= -85 dBm

Reselection:

C2 = C1 + reselOffset - temporaryOffset* H(PT - T)

C2 = C1-reselOffset when PT equal to 31
Say reselOffset=6dB, and TO=3dB

If penalty time is reached then,

C2=C1+CRO-TO*H(PT-T)=15+6-3=18
C1 = -85-(-100)= 15
