Since the UE stays in ele state (EMM Roglstored, ECH-Idle, RRC-le) before and ater the procedure, MN stays in lle state (EMM Registered, ECMLIdla). The UE moves from Cel 5 to Cel 10, and hence no TAU procedure was performed. Thus, after cell reselection, the {information elements in the EPS entities remain unchanged, ang wil be the same as ‘those stored after St release[10, as seen in Figure 4 htpstedyou blogspot com2015,05icellreselection-expained htm! wna12128122, 2:55 AM LTE4you: Gell Reselecton explained?

Closing We have teamed how a UE in ale state moves ta TA where the UE is registered, and reselects a new cell without TAU. This dacument covers enly the intra-frequency cell reselection procedure where cell eselection s performed within the same frequency.
