Abstract

A UE in an idle state selects any of a group A, to which a cell of which coverage its own device is in, belongs and a group different from the group A, for example, a group B, and then measures cells belonging to the selected group for selecting a cell being a re-selection destination. A UE in a connected state selects any of the group B to which a cell connected with the UE belongs and a group different from the group B, for example, the group A, and measures cells belonging to the selected group for handover.

Claims (14)

1. A communication system in which a plurality of communication terminal devices perform radio communication via a network configured by a network-side device including at least one base station device, the communication system comprising:

a plurality of cells configured by the at least one base station device and connected to the plurality of communication terminal devices to perform radio communication with the plurality of communication terminal devices,

wherein the plurality of cells are grouped into a plurality of groups,

wherein a communication terminal device of the plurality of communication terminal devices is configured to:

(a) in an idle state, select one of the plurality of groups including at least (i) a first group that includes a cell on which the communication terminal device is currently camping, and (ii) a second group that is different from the first group, and measure cells belonging to the selected group of the plurality of groups including at least the first group and the second group for selecting a cell as a re-selection destination, and

(b) in a connected state, select one of the plurality of groups including at least (i) a third group that includes a cell to which the communication terminal device is currently connected, and (ii) a fourth group that is different from the third group, and measure cells belonging to the selected group of the plurality of groups including at least the third group and the fourth group for handover, and

wherein the communication terminal device is configured to select the group to be measured based on priorities of the plurality of groups.

2. A communication system in which a plurality of communication terminal devices perform radio communication via a network configured by a network-side device including at least one base station device, the communication system comprising:

a plurality of cells configured by the at least one base station device and connected to the plurality of communication terminal devices to perform radio communication with the plurality of communication terminal devices,

wherein the plurality of cells are grouped into a plurality of groups,

wherein a communication terminal device of the plurality of communication terminal devices is configured to:

(a) in an idle state, select one of the plurality of groups including at least (i) a first group that includes a cell on which the communication terminal device is currently camping, and (ii) a second group that is different from the first group, and measure cells belonging to the selected group of the plurality of groups including at least the first group and the second group for selecting a cell as a re-selection destination, and

(b) in a connected state, select one of the plurality of groups including at least (i) a third group that includes a cell to which the communication terminal device is currently connected, and (ii) a fourth group that is different from the third group, and measure cells belonging to the selected group of the plurality of groups including at least the third group and the fourth group for handover, and

wherein the communication terminal device is configured to select the group to be measured based on load information on the plurality of groups or information on a regulation of the plurality of groups.
