Base station and user terminal

1. A user terminal comprising a controller, wherein

if the user terminal is in an RRC (Radio Resource Control) idle state, the controller executes the processes of:

receiving, from a base station, first cell-specific priorities and second cell-specific priorities applied to a cell reselection process where the user terminal selects a cell as a serving cell from among a plurality of cells, each of the first cell-specific priorities assigned to each of the plurality of cells, each of the second cell-specific priorities assigned to each of the plurality of cells, a first cell-specific priority of a cell of the plurality of cells being different from a second cell-specific priority of the cell of the plurality of cells, wherein

the first cell-specific priorities are applied to the cell reselection process triggered by receiving a satisfying a predetermined condition except the reception of the paging message, and

the second cell-specific priorities are applied to the cell reselection process triggered by receiving a paging message including an instruction to trigger the cell reselection process;

receiving, from the base station, the paging message including an instruction to trigger the cell reselection process;

executing the cell reselection process by using the second cell-specific priorities, in response to the reception of the paging message; and

executing the cell reselection process by using the first cell-specific priorities, in response to satisfying the predetermined condition.

2. The user terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the second cell-specific priority of the cell is set based on at least one of load state of the cell and a type of the cell.

3. The user terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller further executes the process of:

retaining the second cell-specific priority after the executing the cell reselection process until receiving another cell-specific priority.

4. A base station comprising a controller, wherein

the controller executes the processes of:

broadcasting first cell-specific priorities and second cell-specific priorities applied to a cell reselection process where the user terminal selects a cell as a serving cell from among a plurality of cells, each of the first cell-specific priorities assigned to each of the plurality of cells, each of the second cell-specific priorities assigned to each of the plurality of cells, a first cell-specific priority of a cell of the plurality of cells being different from a second cell-specific priority of the cell of the plurality of cells, wherein

the first cell-specific priorities are applied to the cell reselection process triggered by satisfying a predetermined condition except the reception of the paging message, and

the second cell-specific priorities are applied to the cell reselection process triggered by receiving a paging message including an instruction to trigger the cell reselection process; and

broadcasting the paging message including an instruction to trigger the cell reselection process.

5. The base station according to claim 4 , wherein

the second cell-specific priority of the cell is set based on at least one of load state of the cell and a type of the cell.

6. The base station according to claim 4 , wherein

the controller further executes the processes of:

obtaining first load information indicating load of adjacent base stations adjacent to the base station from the adjacent base stations;

obtaining second load information indicating load of the base station; and

setting the second cell-specific priority based on the first load information and the second load information.
