Service-based cell selection and reselection

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon, the program code comprising:

• code for causing a user equipment (UE) to detect activation of an upper layer service of the UE;
• code for causing the UE to determine, in response to the activation, one or more operating parameters based on an operating requirement of the upper layer service of the UE;
• code for causing the UE to filter a plurality of cells that each comprise a service indicator, to determine a subset of cells from the plurality of cells that satisfies the one or more operating parameters based on the service indicator;
• code for causing the UE to measure, after filtering the plurality of cells, a radio condition of each cell from the subset of cells;
• code for causing the UE to select, in response to measuring each cell from the subset of cells, a cell whose radio condition is better than radio conditions of remaining cells from the subset of cells for camping;
• code for causing the UE to camp on the selected cell in response to the selecting;
• code for causing the UE to receive, while camping on the selected cell, updated service availability information from the selected cell;
• and
• code for causing the UE to perform in response to receiving the updated service availability information, cell reselection to another cell based on a comparison between the updated service availability information and the one or more operating parameters determined for the upper layer service of the UE.
