Abstract

Receiving a first signaling, and the first signaling indicating releasing an RRC connection; as a response to receiving the first signaling, entering RRC_IDLE state or RRC_INACTIVE state, accompanying the behavior of entering RRC_IDLE state or RRC_INACTIVE state, executing cell selection; the behavior of executing cell selection comprising evaluating a first cell within a target time length; the target time length depending on whether a first SSB group is on demand; the first SSB group belonging to the first cell; herein, the meaning of the phrase that the target time length depends on whether an SSB of the first cell is on demand comprises: when an SSB of the first cell is on demand, the target time length is a first value; when an SSB of the first cell is not on demand. The present application enables better cell selection in complex environments through the first signaling.
