Abstract
A method of cell reselection for a mobile communication system comprises determining whether a mobile device in the mobile communication system is capable of initiating an emergency call through the second cell when a network of the mobile communication system restricts the mobile device from accessing a first cell, and the mobile device performs a first cell reselection procedure to switch the first cell to the second cell, so as to generate a first determination result, and determining whether the mobile device camps on the second cell according to the first determination result.
Claims16
A method of cell reselection for a mobile communication system, comprising:
- checking a plurality of access classes to determine whether a mobile device in the mobile communication system is capable of initiating an emergency call through a suitable cell and to generate a first determination result when the mobile device performs a first cell reselection procedure to switch from a first cell to the suitable cell due to restriction from accessing the first cell, wherein the suitable cell is able to provide a normal service;
- checking the plurality of access classes to determine whether the mobile device is capable of initiating normal access through the suitable cell and to generate a second determination result when the first determination result indicates that the mobile device is capable of initiating the emergency call through the suitable cell;
- and
- determining whether the mobile device camps on the suitable cell according to the first determination result.
A mobile device for a mobile communication system, used for performing a cell reselection process, the mobile device comprising:
- a storage unit for storing a program code corresponding to a process;
- and
- a processing unit coupled to the computer readable recording medium, for processing the program code to execute the process;
- wherein the process comprises:
- checking a plurality of access classes to determine whether a mobile device in the mobile communication system is capable of initiating an emergency call through a suitable cell and to generate a first determination result when the mobile device performs a first cell reselection procedure to switch from a first cell to the suitable cell due to restriction from accessing the first cell, wherein the suitable cell is able to provide a normal service
- checking the plurality of access classes to determine whether the mobile device is capable of initiating normal access through the suitable cell and to generate a second determination result when the first determination result indicates that the mobile device is capable of initiating the emergency call through the suitable cell;
- and
- determining whether the mobile device camps on the suitable cell according to the first determination result.
