Abstract
This disclosure relates to a mobile device, comprising: a receiver configured to receive a radio signal comprising transmissions from a plurality of radio cells; and a processor configured to derive second information from the received radio signal, the second information indicating at least one neighboring radio cell, wherein the processor is configured to initiate a radio cell selection based on the second information if the second information indicates at least one neighboring radio cell configured for the first RAT.
Claims25
A mobile device, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a radio signal comprising transmissions from a plurality of radio cells;
- and
- a processor configured to derive second information from the received radio signal, the second information indicating at least one neighboring radio cell,
- wherein the processor is configured to initiate a radio cell selection based on the second information if the second information indicates at least one neighboring radio cell configured for a first radio access technology, RAT.
A method for initiating a radio cell selection, the method comprising:
- receiving a radio signal comprising transmissions from a plurality of radio cells;
- deriving second information from the received radio signal, the second information indicating at least one neighboring radio cell;
- and
- initiating a radio cell selection based on the second information if the second information indicates at least one radio cell configured for a first radio access technology (RAT), otherwise based on predetermined first information indicating at least one neighboring radio cell which is configured for the first RAT.
A method for connecting a mobile device to a radio cell, the method comprising:
- receiving a radio signal comprising transmissions from a plurality of radio cells;
- connecting the mobile device to a first radio cell based on predetermined first information indicating at least one neighboring radio cell which is configured for a first radio access technology (RAT);
- deriving second information from the received radio signal, the second information indicating at least one neighboring radio cell;
- and
- connecting the mobile device to a second radio cell based on the second information if the second information indicates at least one radio cell configured for the first RAT, otherwise based on the first information.
