Abstract

In a communication method, a user equipment receives system information broadcast from a current serving cell of the user equipment and indicating frequencies different from a frequency of the current serving cell, the user equipment receives a paging signal from the current serving cell that is different from the system information and includes a request message requesting the user equipment to perform frequency redistribution in which the user equipment selects a target frequency, and performs the frequency redistribution in response to receiving the paging signal including the request message. Performing the frequency redistribution comprises the user equipment measuring quality of the frequencies included in the system information received from the current serving cell in response to receiving the paging signal including the request message, and selecting the target frequency based on a result of the measuring. The user equipment reselects a serving cell on the selected target frequency.

Claims (25)

1. A communication method, comprising:

receiving, by a user equipment, from a current serving cell of the user equipment, system information indicating frequencies different from a frequency of the current serving cell, the system information being broadcast from the current serving cell;

receiving, by the user equipment, from the current serving cell, a paging signal including a request message requesting the user equipment to perform frequency redistribution in which the user equipment reselects a target cell to be used as a serving cell, the paging signal being different from the system information; and

performing the frequency redistribution by the user equipment, in response to receiving the paging signal including the request message, wherein

performing the frequency redistribution comprises:

measuring, by the user equipment, quality of the frequencies included in the system information received from the current serving cell, in response to receiving the paging signal including the request message; and

reselecting, by the user equipment, the target cell to be used as the serving cell based on a result of the measuring.

2. The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein

the paging signal is transmitted from the current serving cell at a paging cycle assigned to the user equipment.

3. A user equipment, comprising:

a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the processor configured to perform processes of:

receiving from a current serving cell of the user equipment, system information indicating frequencies different from a frequency of the current serving cell, the system information being broadcast from the current serving cell;

receiving from the current serving cell, a paging signal including a request message requesting the user equipment to perform frequency redistribution in which the user equipment reselects a target cell to be used as a serving cell, the paging signal being different from the system information; and

performing the frequency redistribution in response to receiving the paging signal including the request message, wherein

performing the frequency redistribution comprises:

measuring quality of the frequencies included in the system information received from the current serving cell, in response to receiving the paging signal including the request message; and

reselecting the target cell to be used as the serving cell based on a result of the measuring.

4. A chipset included in a user equipment comprising:

a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the processor configured to perform processes of:

receiving from a current serving cell of the user equipment, system information indicating frequencies different from a frequency of the current serving cell, the system information being broadcast from the current serving cell;

receiving from the current serving cell, a paging signal including a request message requesting the user equipment to perform frequency redistribution in which the user equipment reselects a target cell to be used as a serving cell, the paging signal being different from the system information; and

performing the frequency redistribution in response to receiving the paging signal including the request message, wherein

performing the frequency redistribution comprises:

measuring quality of the frequencies included in the system information received from the current serving cell, in response to receiving the paging signal including the request message; and

reselecting the target cell to be used as the serving cell based on a result of the measuring.
