Abstract
A method for wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) identifies multiple cell global identities (CGIs) broadcast by a cell. The method also determines a current tracking area identity of the UE from multiple tracking area identities of the cell based on a rule. The rule may be based on a preconfigured or predefined rule. The method selects a first CGI of the CGIs based on the determined tracking area identity.
Claims30
A method for wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- identifying a plurality of cell global identities (CGIs) broadcast by a cell;
- determining a current tracking area identity of the UE from a plurality of tracking area identities of the cell based on a preconfigured rule;
- and
- selecting a first CGI of the plurality of CGIs based on the determined tracking area identity.
An apparatus for wireless communications performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a processor;
- memory coupled with the processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus:
- to identify a plurality of cell global identities (CGIs) broadcast by a cell;
- to determine a current tracking area identity of the UE from a plurality of tracking area identities of the cell based on a preconfigured rule;
- and
- to select a first CGI of the plurality of CGIs based on the determined tracking area identity.
