Abstract

A user terminal comprises a controller configured to select a target cell as a serving cell from among cells operated in different frequencies; and a receiver configured to receive a reselection request signal from a current serving cell. The reselection request signal requesting a reselection of the target cell. The controller is configured to perform the reselection of the target cell toward a cell in target frequency and activate a predetermined timer, in response to the reception of the reselection request signal. The controller is further configured to use the cell in target frequency as the target cell during an activation of the predetermined timer. The controller is further configured to change an expiration time of the predetermined timer based on a moving speed of the user terminal.

Claims (10)

1. A user terminal, comprising:

a controller configured to select a target cell as a serving cell from a plurality of cells operated at different frequencies; and

a receiver configured to receive a redistribution parameter and an absolute priority as a reselection parameter broadcast by the serving cell, the absolute priority being Cell Reselection Priority, wherein

the controller is further configured to perform:

first processing of performing a reselection of the target call toward a cell in target frequency based on the redistribution parameter and activating a predetermined timer, the predetermined timer being T 360 ;

second processing of using a cell selected by the first processing as the target cell during the activation of the predetermined timer;

third processing of, in response to an expiration of the predetermined timer, performing selection procedure of the target cell not based on the absolute priority, the selection procedure including measurement of neighbor cell and the reselection of the target cell toward the cell in the target frequency based on the redistribution parameter; and

forth processing of performing the reselection of the target cell based on the absolute priority in response to the expiration of the predetermined timer if system information broadcasted from the serving cell includes information element to indicates that the user terminal will be instructed to perform the reselection of the target cell only by paging signal transmitted from the serving cell.

2. The user terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller is configured to perform the third processing under a condition that the information element is not included in the system information.
