Topic 1 System information

Idle Mode Mobility Management from LTE
• UE knows where to find Master Information Block
• MIB is broadcast in the Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH)
• in MIB UE receives basic system information
• On reception of System Information Block 1
• UE is able to receive scheduling information for all other SIBs
• SIB 2..SIB 7 supported in RL10
• SIB 2..SIB 7 are scheduled on PDSCH similar to other user data or signaling – so
UE needs to know where to listen and receive

Topic 2 Cell Selection
1) UE creates a candidate list of potential cells to camp on. Two possible search
procedures:
• Initial Cell Selection: UE scans all RF channels to find a suitable cell. On each
carrier, the UE searches for the strongest cell and reads information. Once the UE
has found the suitable cell for the selected PLMN, the UE creates a candidate list
consisting of this cell and its neighboring cells as received in measurement
control information.
• Stored Information Cell Selection (optimal) This procedure requires information
stored from previously received measurement control information elements (cell
parameters, carrier frequencies, etc.). After the UE has found a suitable cell for
the selected PLMN, the candidate list is created the same as the initial cell
selection process.
2) Each cell on the candidate list is evaluated according to the selection criteria S.
3) After selecting a suitable cell (S criterion fulfilled) to camp on, the UE reports this
event to NAS for registration procedures. If the registration is successful, the UE
enters into "camped normally“ state.

CELL SELECTION
Upon PLMN selection, UE uses “cell selection” for fast cell searching to camp on. To receive
system information the UE tunes to the control channels. This procedure is known as
"camping on the cell”.
The UE will then register its presence in the registration area of the chosen cell by NAS (Non
Access Stratum) registration procedure.
NAS registration procedure means the upper layer information is transmitted from UE to CN
via AS (Access Stratum). The NAS offers the E-UMTS service to the users.
The cell will be decided as suitable if it fulfils the cell selection criteria.
The purpose of camping on a cell is:
• To enable UE reception of system information from the selected PLMN.
• To allow UE an RRC connection, accessing the network on the cell control channel.
• To receive paging and respond to paging messages on a tuned control channel in the
registration area. The PLMN knows the tracking area of the cell in which the registered UE
is camped.
PLMN SELECTION
• UE scans RF channels in the eUTRAN band according to its capabilities to find available
PLMNs.
• On each carrier, the UE searches for the strongest cell.
• If the UE can read the PLMN identity (from SIB), the PLMN and the measured signal
strength is reported to the NAS.
• After selecting a PLMN, the cell selection process starts where the UE selects a suitable cell
and the radio access mode based on idle mode measurements and cell selection criteria.
