Name the differences between access classes and cell access
restrictions
Describe the state transition in the RRC idle mode
Understand the cell selection criterion, S
Name the differences, when cell selection is performed with and
without HCS
Outline the measurement rules for both HCS enabled cells and
cells without priorities

The UE can receive cell broadcast service messages.
In the ETSI specification TS 25.304,

the idle mode tasks were subdivided into 3 processes:
1. PLMN selection & reselection;
2. Cell selection & reselection;
3. Location registration.

The mobile phone tries to find a suitable cell to camp on.
With a suitable cell, all network services are available.
If it is unable to find such a cell, it attempts to camp on any non-barred cell.
It enters an internal "limited service" state. In this state, only emergency calls can be carried out.
The same state is given, when no USIM was inserted in the UE or the location registration failed.
The UE is also responsible for cell reselection in the RRC connected mode states CELL_FACH,
CELL_PCH and URA_PCH.
The purpose of camping on a cell are the same as in the RRC idle mode with the exception of
RRC connection establishment (because the RRC connection already exists).
The cell reselection procedure is the same in the RRC idle and RRC connected mode.

A barred cell is a cell where a UE is not allowed to camp on.
This parameter is part of SIB 3.
0 (Barred), 1 (Not barred); default: 1.

If the UE does not select another cell, and the barred cell remains to be the best one, the
UE shall after expiry of the time interval Tbarred again check whether the status of the barred
cell has changed.

WCEL: Qhyst1 (Qhyst2)
Qhyst1 is used for TDD and GSM cells, and for FDD cells when cell selection and reselection quality measure is set to CPICH RSCP (CPICH Ec/No) (Qhyst1s/ Qhyst2s).
[0 ... 40] dB, step 2 dB, default: Qhyst1 = 0 dB, Qhyst2 = 2 dB.
HOPS: AdjsQoffset1 (AdjsQoffset2)
This parameter is used in the cell re-selection and ranking between WCDMA cells.
The value of this parameter is subtracted from the measured CPICH RSCP (CPICH Ec/No)
of the intra-frequency neighbour cell before the UE compares the quality measure with the
cell re-selection/ranking criteria.
[-50 ... 50] dB, default: 0 dB.
HOPS: AdjsQoffset1 (AdjsQoffset2), HOPG: AdjgQoffset1
WCELL: Treselection
The UE triggers the reselection of a new cell if the cell reselection criteria are fulfilled during
the time interval Treselection.
[0 ... 31] seconds, default: 2 seconds.
The remaining parameters were already specified under NSN Parameters for Cell Reselection
(Part IV).

Cell Reselection: Measurement Requirements

How often are measurements conducted for cell re-selection evaluation?
What happens, if the criterion S is no longer fulfilled for the cell, the UE camps on?
Serving Cell
At least once every DRX cycle, the UE must
measure the CPICH Ec/Io & CPICH RSCP level of the Serving Cell and
evaluate the S criterion.
Hereby, the UE filters measurement results.
It takes at least 2 measurements, and the time difference between the measurements must have
been at least TmeasureFDD/2.
If the serving cell is not fulfilling the cell selection criterion S for Nserv consecutive DRX cycles,
the UE has to start measurements on all neighbouring cells.
The Nserv is known by the UE with the DRX cycle length.
The UE has to find a suitable cell within 12 seconds.
If it fails, and the UE is in the RRC idle mode, it initiates the cell selection procedures for
the selected PLMN.
If it fails to find a suitable cell within 12 seconds, and the UE is in the RRC connected
states CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH or URA_PCH, it is considered to be out of service area.
