- the terminal sends an RRC connection request message to the network requesting an RRC connection (S510).
- the network sends an RRC connection setup message in response to the RRC connection request (S520). After receiving the RRC connection configuration message, the terminal enters the RRC connection mode.
- the terminal sends an RRC Connection Setup Complete message used to confirm successful completion of RRC connection establishment to the network (S530).
- RRC connection reconfiguration is used to modify an RRC connection. It is used to establish / modify / release RBs, perform handovers, and set up / modify / release measurements.
- the network sends an RRC connection reconfiguration message for modifying the RRC connection to the terminal (S610).
- the UE sends an RRC connection reconfiguration complete message used to confirm successful completion of the RRC connection reconfiguration to the network (S620).
- the terminal selects / reselects a cell of appropriate quality and performs procedures for receiving service.
- the UE in the RRC idle state should always select a cell of appropriate quality and prepare to receive service through this cell. For example, a terminal that has just been powered on must select a cell of appropriate quality to register with the network. When the terminal in the RRC connected state enters the RRC idle state, the terminal should select a cell to stay in the RRC idle state. As such, the process of selecting a cell satisfying a certain condition in order for the terminal to stay in a service standby state such as an RRC idle state is called cell selection.
- the cell selection is performed in a state in which the UE does not currently determine a cell to stay in the RRC idle state, it is most important to select the cell as soon as possible. Therefore, if the cell provides a radio signal quality of a predetermined criterion or more, even if this cell is not the cell providing the best radio signal quality to the terminal, it may be selected during the cell selection process of the terminal.
- PLMN public land mobile network
- PLMN is a network deployed or operated by a mobile network operator. Each mobile network operator operates one or more PLMNs. Each PLMN may be identified by a mobile country code (MCC) and a mobile network code (MCN). The PLMN information of the cell is included in the system information and broadcasted.
- MCC mobile country code
- MN mobile network code
- the terminal attempts to register the selected PLMN. If the registration is successful, the selected PLMN becomes a registered PLMN (RPLMN).
- the network may signal the PLMN list to the UE, which may consider PLMNs included in the PLMN list as PLMNs such as RPLMNs.
- the UE registered in the network should be reachable by the network at all times. If the UE is in the ECM-CONNECTED state (same as RRC connected state), the network recognizes that the UE is receiving service. However, when the terminal is in the ECM-IDLE state (same as the RRC idle state), the situation of the terminal is not valid in the eNB but is stored in the MME. In this case, the location of the UE in the ECM-IDLE state is known only to the MME as granularity of the list of tracking areas (TAs). A single TA is identified by a tracking area identity (TAI) consisting of the PLMN identifier to which the TA belongs and a tracking area code (TAC) that uniquely represents the TA within the PLMN.
- TAI tracking area identity
- TAC tracking area code
- the UE selects a cell having a signal quality and characteristics capable of receiving an appropriate service from among cells provided by the selected PLMN.
- an initial cell selection process in which the terminal does not have prior information on the radio channel. Accordingly, the terminal searches all radio channels to find an appropriate cell. In each channel, the terminal finds the strongest cell. Thereafter, the terminal selects a corresponding cell if it finds a suitable cell that satisfies a cell selection criterion.
- the terminal may select the cell by using the stored information or by using the information broadcast in the cell.
- cell selection can be faster than the initial cell selection process.
- the UE selects a corresponding cell if it finds a cell that satisfies the cell selection criteria. If a suitable cell that satisfies the cell selection criteria is not found through this process, the UE performs an initial cell selection process.
- the terminal After the terminal selects a cell through a cell selection process, the strength or quality of a signal between the terminal and the base station may change due to a change in mobility or a wireless environment of the terminal. Therefore, if the quality of the selected cell is degraded, the terminal may select another cell that provides better quality. When reselecting a cell in this way, a cell that generally provides better signal quality than the currently selected cell is selected. This process is called cell reselection.
- the cell reselection process has a basic purpose in selecting a cell that generally provides the best quality to a terminal in view of the quality of a radio signal.
- the network may determine the priority for each frequency and notify the terminal. Upon receiving this priority, the UE considers this priority prior to the radio signal quality criteria in the cell reselection process.
- a method of selecting or reselecting a cell according to a signal characteristic of a wireless environment In selecting a cell for reselection when reselecting a cell, the following cell reselection is performed according to a cell's RAT and frequency characteristics. There may be a method of selection.
- Intra-frequency cell reselection Reselection of a cell having a center-frequency equal to the RAT, such as a cell where the UE is camping
- Inter-frequency cell reselection Reselects a cell having a center frequency different from that of the same RAT as the cell camping
- Inter-RAT cell reselection UE reselects a cell using a RAT different from the camping RAT

- cell reselection is performed based on cell reselection criteria.
- the cell reselection criteria have the following characteristics with respect to serving cell and neighbor cell measurements.
- Intra-frequency cell reselection is basically based on ranking.
- Ranking is an operation of defining index values for cell reselection evaluation and using the index values to order the cells in the order of the index values.
- the cell with the best indicator is often called the best ranked cell.
- the cell index value is a value obtained by applying a frequency offset or a cell offset as necessary based on the value measured by the terminal for the corresponding cell.
- Inter-frequency cell reselection is based on the frequency priority provided by the network.
- the terminal attempts to camp on the frequency with the highest frequency priority.
- the network may provide the priorities to be commonly applied to the terminals in the cell or provide the frequency priority through broadcast signaling, or may provide the priority for each frequency for each terminal through dedicated signaling.
- the network may provide the UE with parameters (for example, frequency-specific offset) used for cell reselection for each frequency.
- the network may provide the UE with a neighboring cell list (NCL) used for cell reselection to the UE.
- NCL neighboring cell list
- This NCL contains cell-specific parameters (eg cell-specific offsets) used for cell reselection.
- the network may provide the UE with a cell reselection prohibition list (black list) used for cell reselection to the UE.
- the UE does not perform cell reselection for a cell included in the prohibition list.
- the ranking criterion used to prioritize the cells is defined as in Equation 1.
- Rs is a ranking indicator of the serving cell
- Rn is a ranking indicator of the neighbor cell
- Qmeas s is a quality value measured by the UE for the serving cell
- Qmeas n is a quality value measured by the UE for the neighbor cell
- Qhyst is The hysteresis value, Qoffset, for the ranking is the offset between two cells.
- the ranking index Rs of the serving cell and the ranking index Rn of the neighboring cell change in a similar state, the ranking ranking is constantly changed as a result of the change, such that the terminal may alternately select two cells.
- Qhyst is a parameter for giving hysteresis in cell reselection to prevent the UE from reselecting two cells alternately.
- the UE measures the Rs of the serving cell and the Rn of the neighboring cell according to the above equation, considers the cell having the highest ranking indicator value as the best ranked cell, and reselects the cell.
- the quality of the cell serves as the most important criterion in cell reselection. If the reselected cell is not a normal cell, the terminal excludes the frequency or the corresponding cell from the cell reselection target.
- the UE continuously measures to maintain the quality of the radio link with the serving cell receiving the service.
- the terminal determines whether communication is impossible in the current situation due to deterioration of the quality of the radio link with the serving cell. If the quality of the serving cell is so low that communication is almost impossible, the terminal determines the current situation as a radio connection failure.
- the UE abandons communication with the current serving cell, selects a new cell through a cell selection (or cell reselection) procedure, and reestablishes an RRC connection to the new cell (RRC connection re). -establishment).
- the UE determines that there is a serious problem in the downlink communication quality based on the radio quality measurement result of the physical layer of the UE (when it is determined that the PCell quality is low during the RLM)
- FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a RRC connection reestablishment procedure.

- the cell selection procedure of the RRC connection reestablishment procedure may be performed in the same manner as the cell selection procedure performed by the UE in the RRC idle state, although the UE maintains the RRC connection state.
- the terminal After performing the cell selection procedure, the terminal checks the system information of the corresponding cell to determine whether the corresponding cell is a suitable cell (S730). If it is determined that the selected cell is an appropriate E-UTRAN cell, the terminal transmits an RRC connection reestablishment request message to the cell (S740).
- the RRC connection re-establishment procedure is stopped, the terminal is in the RRC idle state Enter (S750).
- the terminal may be implemented to complete the confirmation of the appropriateness of the cell within a limited time through the cell selection procedure and the reception of system information of the selected cell.
- the UE may drive a timer as the RRC connection reestablishment procedure is initiated.
- the timer may be stopped when it is determined that the terminal has selected a suitable cell. If the timer expires, the UE may consider that the RRC connection reestablishment procedure has failed and may enter the RRC idle state.

- MDT Minimization of Driving Tests
- MDT allows conventional operators to perform measurements and report the results to the terminal instead of using a drive test to measure the quality of the cell using a car. . Coverage depends on the location of the base station, the layout of the surrounding buildings, and the environment of use of the user. Therefore, the operator needs to periodically drive test, which is expensive and resource-intensive. In order to overcome this disadvantage, the MDT is proposed that the operator measures the coverage using the terminal.
- the operator synthesizes the MDT measurement values received from the various terminals to create a coverage map that shows the distribution of service availability and quality of service over the entire area in which the operator provides the service. It can be utilized. For example, if a coverage problem of a specific area is reported from the terminal, the operator may expand the coverage of the corresponding area cell by increasing the transmission power of the base station providing the service of the corresponding area. In this way, the time and cost of network optimization can be minimized.
- MDT is built on a framework of tracing, one of the operator's tools for operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM).
