• Normal Service
• When the UE select accepted level cell in its HPLMN
• Limited Service (SOS)
• When the UE didn’t find any accepted level cells at its
home PLMN it selects any accepted level cell at any
other PLMN(Emergency Calls)
• Operator reserved services (sent on SIB1)
• The operator can reserve any cell for testing only and
this through two parameters cell reserved and Access

PLMN Selection
PLMN Selection
• PLMN Selection
– What is it ? And When it happens ? What are the
types of PLMN selection
• PLMN Selection is the process in which the UE decides which
PLMN it should register in and this process happens when
the Mobile turned on or when the mobile returned back
from limiting service
– Automatic PLMN selection
– Manual PLMN selection
Automatic PLMN selection
• When the mobile powered on
• The mobile uses information about the last registered PLMN
(Freq, the stored neighbors before off) (stored at USIM)
• Mobile search the strongest signal cells and read its system
information to get (MCC and MNC)
• If the chosen cell is accepted the mobile try to do the
registration
• If the last chosen cell not available or there is no stored info
in the mobile USIM then the mobile might select any
accepted PLMN automatically or manually
• In the automatic selection if no last register PLMN exists or
available the Mobile will select the PLMN that is available
and allowed as follow:
– HPLMN if not previously selected due to RAT
– Each PLMN in User controlled PLMNs list in the USIM, in order of
priority
– Each PLMN in operator controlled PLMN list in the USIM, in order of
priority
– Other PLMNs according to the high quality criteria randomly the
minimum CPICH RSCP power is -95dBm
– Other PLMNs that don’t fulfill high quality criteria

Roaming
• It is the services in which the user will be able to
obtain services from another PLMN
– Same country (national roaming)
– Another country (international roaming)
• Every 30 minutes the UE try to reselect its home

Cell selection procedure
• Squal = Qqualmeas – Qqualmin (For WCDMA)
• Qqualmeas is CPICH Ec /No
• Qqualmin is minimum required Ec/No
Qqualmin (cell level parameter) default value is -18 dB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas – Qrxlevmin – Pcompensation (For all cells)
• Qrxlevmeas is CPICH RSCP
• Qrxlevmin is minimum required RSCP
Qrxlevmin (cell level parameter) default value is -115 dpm
Pcompensation= Max [(UE_TXPWR_MAX_RACH – P_MAX) , 0 ]

• When the UE triggers a cell reselections
procedure it starts ranking for the cell satisfy
S-criteria (Squal > 0 and Srxlev > 0) and the
ranking will be according R-criteria
• Rs = Qmeass + Qhysts
• Rn = Qmeasn – Qoffset s,n
Rs : Ranking of serving
Rn : Ranking of neighbors
• Qmeas: is the quality value of the received signal
which is derived from
• CPICH Ec/No or CPICH RSCP
• Qhysts: hystersis value sent to mobile in system
information used to delay the reselection as
possible on the LA boarders
– Qhyst1s if the ranking based on CPICH RSCP
– Qhyst2s if the ranking based on CPICH Ec/No
• Qoffsets,n: is the offset between the serving and the
neighbor cell also used to shift the cell boarder
– Qoffset1s,n : if the ranking based on RSCP, there are 2
Qoffset1s,n one for WCDMA neighbor and the other
one for GSM neighbor.
– Qoffset2s,n : if the ranking based on Ec/No
• “Cell_selection_and_reselection_quality_measure
information element”: is the parameter that determine
if we will do the ranking based on RSCP or Ec/No
• The UE reselect the better cell if it stay better for time

• FACH-connected cell reselection
– During the FACH-connected mode the UE use secondary common
control physical channel (SCCPCH)
– The parameters used to control the measurement are IE “FACH
Measurement occasion cycle length coefficient” and IE “Inter-frequency FDD
measurement indicator”
(K) used to show when
– “FACH Measurement occasion cycle length coefficient”
the UE has to do this measurement, value should be greater than 0
and this value send to mobile via system information (If set to 0, the
parameter is not sent in system information)
– FACH measurement occasions are defined as being the frame where
the following equation is fulfilled
SFN= C-RNTI mod n*2^K
C-RNTI is the cell UE identity (16 bits) & n is the frame number 0,1,2,….
is a value set to True or False if
– “Inter-frequency FDD measurement indicator”
it set to True the UE will perform the reselection criteria on
inter frequency or inter RAT and if it is set false it will not do
