Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided in a wireless communication system. Frequency information associated with a cell selection is stored, and a plurality of frequencies are scanned. Cell information is obtained based on the stored frequency information, and, based on the obtained cell information, a first cell to camp on is identified from among a plurality of cells corresponding to the second plurality of frequencies. In identifying the first cell, a cell supporting an evolved-universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) new radio (NR)-dual connectivity (DC) (EN-DC) is preferred over a cell not supporting the EN-DC. The identified first cell is camped on.
Claims21
A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- storing frequency information associated with a cell selection;
- scanning a plurality of frequencies;
- obtaining cell information based on the stored frequency information;
- based on the obtained cell information, identifying a first cell to camp on from among a plurality of cells corresponding to the scanned plurality of frequencies, wherein, in identifying the first cell, a cell supporting an evolved-universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) new radio (NR)-dual connectivity (DC) (EN-DC) is preferred by the UE over a cell not supporting the EN-DC;
- and
- camping on the identified first cell.
A user equipment (UE) for handling cell selection in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor, coupled with the memory and configured to:
- store frequency information associated with a cell selection,
- scan a plurality of frequencies,
- obtain cell information based on the stored frequency information,
- based on the obtained cell information, identify a first cell to camp on from among a plurality of cells corresponding to the scanned plurality of frequencies, wherein, in identifying the first cell, a cell supporting an evolved-universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) new radio (NR)-dual connectivity (DC) (EN-DC) is preferred by the UE over a cell not supporting the EN-DC, and
- camp on the identified first cell.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores a computer program, which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
- store frequency information associated with a cell selection;
- scan a plurality of frequencies;
- obtain cell information based on the stored frequency information;
- based on the obtained cell information, identify a first cell to camp on from among a plurality of cells corresponding to the scanned plurality of frequencies, wherein, in identifying the first cell, a cell supporting an evolved-universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) new radio (NR)-dual connectivity (DC) (EN-DC) is preferred by the UE over a cell not supporting the EN-DC;
- and
- camp on the identified first cell.
