Scope
The present document specifies the Access Stratum (AS) part of the Idle Mode procedures applicable to a UE. The nonaccess stratum (NAS) part of Idle mode procedures and processes is specified in [5]. The present document also specifies cell selection and reselection processes applicable to UEs in connected mode. Invocation of these processes is described in [4]. The present document specifies the model for the functional division between the NAS and AS in a UE. The present document applies to all UEs that support at least UTRA, including multi-RAT UEs as described in 3GPP specifications, in the following cases: When the UE is camped on a UTRA cell; When the UE is searching for a cell to camp on; The details for those cases are described in the specifications of the other RAT.
NOTE:
The present document presents also examples of inter-layer procedures related to the idle mode processes and describes idle mode functionality of a multi-RAT UTRA/GSM/E-UTRA UE. The present document also specifies how idle-mode and reselection procedures are affected by the provision of MBMS services.

Definitions and abbreviations

Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following definitions and the definitions in [12] apply. Absolute priority layer: A priority level can be defined for a UTRA frequency, a group of GSM frequencies or a EUTRA frequency. CSG whitelist: A list provided by NAS containing all the CSG identities of the CSGs to which the subscriber belongs. NOTE: This list is known as Allowed CSG List in Rel-8 Access Stratum specifications.
Acceptable Cell: A cell that satisfies certain conditions as specified in 4.3. A UE can always attempt emergency calls on an acceptable cell. Available PLMN: A PLMN for which the UE has found at least one cell and read its PLMN identity. Barred Cell: A cell a UE is not allowed to camp on. Camped on a cell: UE has completed the cell selection/reselection process and has chosen a cell. The UE monitors system information and (in most cases) paging information. Camped on any cell: UE is in idle mode and has completed the cell selection/reselection process and has chosen a cell irrespective of PLMN identity. Camped on MBSFN cluster: UE has completed the MBSFN Cluster selection/reselection process and has chosen a MBSFN Cluster. The UE monitors system information and receives notifications for MBMS services and possibly receives a MBMS service. Closed Subscriber Group (CSG): A Closed Subscriber Group identifies subscribers of an operator who are permitted to access one or more cells of the PLMN but which have restricted access (CSG cells). CSG cell: A cell, part of the PLMN, broadcasting a CSG Indicator that is set to TRUE and a specific CSG identity. A CSG cell is accessible by the members of the closed subscriber group for that CSG identity. All the UTRAN CSG cells sharing the same identity are identifiable as a single group for the purposes of mobility management and charging. CSG identity: An identifier broadcast by a CSG or hybrid cell/cells and used by the UE to facilitate access for authorised members of the associated Closed Subscriber Group. DRX cycle: Individual time interval between monitoring Paging Occasion for a specific UE. EHPLMN: Any of the PLMN entries contained in the Equivalent HPLMN list stored on the USIM [5].
ETSI
ETSI TS 125 304 V9.2.0 (2010-06)
Equivalent PLMN list: List of PLMNs considered as equivalent by the UE for cell selection, cell reselection , MBSFN Cluster selection MBSFN Cluster reselection, handover and manual CSG ID selection according to the information provided by the NAS. HNB Name: The Home NodeB Name is a broadcast string in free text format that provides a human readable name for the Home NodeB CSG identity. Home PLMN: A PLMN where the Mobile Country Code (MCC) and Mobile Network Code (MNC) of the PLMN identity are the same as the MCC and MNC of the IMSI. Hybrid cell: A cell, part of the PLMN, not broadcasting a CSG Indicator but broadcasting a specific CSG identity. Location Registration (LR): UE registers its presence in a registration area, for instance regularly or when entering a new registration area. Maximum DRX cycle: Time interval for the longest possible DRX cycle in a cell. MBMS Activated Service: An MBMS service that the UE has joined (multicast) or is interested in (broadcast). MBMS Preferred Layer (PL): A frequency layer that is indicated by the UTRAN to be preferred for camping for MBMS purposes. MBSFN cluster: Set of cells operating in MBSFN mode providing only MBMS service in PtM mode and seen as one cell by a UE. MBSFN mode: In order to achieve higher spectral efficiency synchronized cells operate in MBSFN mode which implies that they transmit exactly the same content over an area that is seen as one MBSFN cell by the UE. Paging Block Periodicity (PBP): Period of the occurrence of Paging Blocks. (For FDD, PBP = 1). Paging Message Receiving Occasion (TDD only): The frame where the UE receives actual paging message. Paging occasion: (FDD) The SFN of the PICH frame where the UE monitors its paging indicator (i.e. the SFN of the PCCPCH frame in which the PICH frame begins).

Reserved Cell: A cell on which camping is not allowed, except for particular UEs, if so indicated in the system information. Restricted Cell: A cell on which camping is allowed, but access attempts are disallowed for UEs whose access classes are indicated as barred. Selected PLMN: This is the PLMN that has been selected by the NAS, either manually or automatically. Serving cell: The cell on which the UE is camped. Strongest cell: The cell on a particular carrier that is considered strongest according to the layer 1 cell search procedure [14][15]. As the details of the layer 1 cell search are implementation dependent, the precise definition of 'strongest cell' is also implementation dependent. Suitable Cell: This is a cell on which an UE may camp. For a UTRA cell, the criteria are defined in subclause 4.3, for a GSM cell the criteria are defined in [1] and for a E-UTRA cell the criteria are defined in [18].

4.1
General description of Idle mode

Overview
When a UE is switched on, a public land mobile network (PLMN) is selected and the UE searches for a suitable cell of this PLMN to camp on. Criteria for cell selection and cell re-selection between radio access technologies (RATs) described in this document only consider radio criteria. In addition to RAT, the PLMN type may differ as well. In this specification, the term PLMN is used as a generic term covering both GSM MAP and ANSI-41 type of PLMNs. According to the type of PLMN, the way to identify it can be different. If the PLMN type is GSM, the PLMN is identified by 'PLMN identity' and if the PLMN type is ANSI-41, the PLMN is identified by 'SID' The NAS shall provide a list of equivalent PLMNs, if available, that the AS shall use for cell selection and cell reselection. The UE searches for a suitable cell of the selected PLMN and chooses that cell to provide available services, and tunes to its control channel. This choosing is known as "camping on the cell". The UE will, if necessary, then register its presence, by means of a NAS registration procedure, in the registration area of the chosen cell and as outcome of a successful Location Registration the selected PLMN becomes the registered PLMN [5]. If the UE finds a more suitable cell, it reselects onto that cell and camps on it. If the new cell is in a different registration area, location registration is performed. If necessary, the UE shall search for higher priority PLMNs at regular time intervals as described in [9] and search for a suitable cell if another PLMN has been selected by NAS. NOTE: For RRC connected mode the requirements for the search for higher priority PLMNs are defined in [4]. Search of available CSG IDs may be triggered by NAS to support manual CSG ID selection. If the UE loses coverage of the registered PLMN, either a new PLMN is selected automatically (automatic mode), or an indication of which PLMNs are available is given to the user, so that a manual selection can be made (manual mode). Registration is not performed by UEs only capable of services that need no registration. The purpose of camping on a cell in idle mode is fourfold: a) It enables the UE to receive system information from the PLMN. b) When registered and if the UE wishes to establish an RRC connection, it can do this by initially accessing the network on the control channel of the cell on which it is camped. c) If the PLMN receives a call for the registered UE, it knows (in most cases) the registration area of the cell in which the UE is camped. It can then send a "paging" message for the UE on control channels of all the cells in the registration area. The UE will then receive the paging message because it is tuned to the control channel of a cell in that registration area and the UE can respond on that control channel. d) It enables the UE to receive cell broadcast services. If the UE is unable to find a suitable cell to camp on, or the USIM is not inserted, or if the location registration failed (except for LR rejected with cause #12, cause #14, cause #15 or cause #25, see [5] and [16]), it attempts to camp on a cell irrespective of the PLMN identity, and enters a "limited service" state in which it can only attempt to make emergency calls. The idle mode tasks can be subdivided into four processes: PLMN selection; Cell selection and reselection; Location registration; Support for manual CSG ID selection.

Table 1: Functional division between AS and NAS in idle mode

Idle Mode Process PLMN Selection UE Non-Access Stratum Maintain the list of allowed PLMN types. It can be GSM-MAP only, ANSI-41 only or both. Maintain a list of PLMNs in priority order according to [5]. Select a PLMN using automatic or manual mode as specified in [5] and request AS to select a cell belonging to this PLMN. For each PLMN, associated RAT(s) may be set. Evaluate reports of available PLMNs from AS for PLMN selection. Maintain a list of equivalent PLMN identities. Report available PLMNs with associated PLMN type and RAT to NAS on request from NAS or autonomously. It shall respect allowed PLMN types indications from NAS. Perform measurements needed to support cell selection. Detect and synchronise to a broadcast channel. Receive and handle broadcast information. Forward NAS system information to NAS. Search for a suitable cell. The cells broadcast their 'PLMN identity' (GSM-MAP) or 'SID' and may broadcast a CSG ID and CSG indicator in the system information. Respond to NAS whether such cell is found or not. If associated RATs is (are) set for the PLMN, perform the search in this (these) RAT(s) and other RATs for that PLMN as specified in [5]. For a CSG cell check the CSG ID if broadcast against the CSG whitelist provided by NAS to check whether a CSG cell is suitable for the UE. If such a cell is found, the cell is selected to camp on. Perform measurements needed to support cell reselection. Detect and synchronise to a broadcast channel. Receive and handle broadcast information. Forward NAS system information to NAS.

Service type in Idle and Connected Mode
This clause defines the level of service that may be provided by the network to a UE in Idle mode and Connected Mode. The action of camping on a cell is necessary to get access to some services. Three levels of services are defined for UE: Limited service (emergency calls and ETWS if supported on an acceptable cell) Normal service (for public use on a suitable cell) Operator service (for operators only on a reserved cell)
Furthermore, the cells are categorised according to which services they offer: acceptable cell: An "acceptable cell" is a cell on which the UE may camp to obtain limited service (originate emergency calls and receive ETWS if supported). Such a cell shall fulfil the following requirements, which is the minimum set of requirements to initiate an emergency call and to receive ETWS primary notification either with or without security in a UTRAN network: The cell is not barred, see subclause 5.3.1.1; The cell selection criteria are fulfilled, see subclause 5.2.3.1.2;
suitable cell:
ETSI
14
ETSI TS 125 304 V9.2.0 (2010-06)
A "suitable cell" is a cell on which the UE may camp on to obtain normal service. Such a cell shall fulfil all the following requirements. The cell shall be part of either: the selected PLMN, or: the registered PLMN, or: a PLMN of the Equivalent PLMN list according to the latest information provided by the NAS. The cell is not barred, see subclause 5.3.1.1; The cell is part of at least one LA that is not part of the list of "forbidden LAs for roaming" [9], which belongs to a PLMN that fulfills the first bullet above; The cell selection criteria are fulfilled, see subclause 5.2.3.1.2. For a CSG cell the CSG ID is part of the CSG whitelist of the UE.
If the IE 'Multiple PLMN List' [4] is broadcast in the cell, the cell is considered to be part of all LAs with LAIs constructed from the PLMN identities in the 'Multiple PLMN List' and the LAC broadcast in the cell. barred cell: A cell is barred if it is so indicated in the system information [4]. reserved cell: A cell is reserved if it is so indicated in system information [4]. Following exceptions to these definitions are applicable for UEs: camped on a cell that belongs to a LA that is forbidden for regional provision of service, and during emergency calls. as an outcome of the manual CSG ID selection procedure the UE is allowed to access an acceptable cell which fulfils the cell selection criteria and is not barred or reserved for operator use for UEs not belonging to AC 11 or 15 and inform NAS that access is possible (for location registration procedure). UE is not required to support manual search and selection of CSG ID(s) while in RRC CONNECTED state.
NOTE:
A cell that belongs to a LA that is forbidden for regional provision service ([5], [16]) is suitable but provides only limited service. If a UE has an ongoing emergency call, all acceptable cells of that PLMN are treated as suitable for cell reselection for the duration of the emergency call. suitable MBSFN cluster: A cell is part of an MBSFN cluster if it is indicated in system information [4]. An MBSFN cluster provides exclusively MBMS services. A suitable MBSFN cluster shall fulfil all the following requirements: For FDD, 3.84 Mcps TDD IMB and 3.84/7.68 Mcps TDD the MBSFN cluster shall be part of either: the registered PLMN, or: a PLMN of the Equivalent PLMN list The MBSFN cluster shall be indicated as: providing MBSFN only service
For FDD, 3.84 Mcps TDD IMB and 3.84/7.68 Mcps TDD MBSFN cluster selection/reselection process for MBSFN clusters operating on the same frequency shall be based on reception quality. Details of the process are not specified.

Process and procedure descriptions

PLMN selection
General
In the UE, the AS shall report available PLMNs to the NAS on request from the NAS or autonomously. UE shall maintain a list of allowed PLMN types. The allowed PLMN type can be GSM-MAP only, ANSI-41 only or both. During PLMN selection, based on the list of allowed PLMN types and a list of PLMN identities in priority order, the particular PLMN may be selected either automatically or manually. Each PLMN in the list of PLMN identities can be identified by either 'PLMN identity' (GSM-MAP) or 'SID'. In the system information on the broadcast channel, the UE can receive a 'PLMN identity' (GSM-MAP) or a 'SID' or a 'PLMN identity' (GSM-MAP) and a 'SID', in a given cell. For a given cell, the UE might receive several 'PLMN identities' from the system information on the broadcast channel. The result of the PLMN selection is an identifier of the selected PLMN, the choice being based on the allowed PLMN types, UE capability or other factors. This identifier is one of either 'PLMN identity' for GSM-MAP type of PLMNs or 'SID' for ANSI-41 type of PLMNs. In case that the list of allowed PLMN types includes GSM-MAP, the non-access part of the PLMN selection process is specified in [5]. In the case that list of allowed PLMN types includes ANSI-41, the non-access stratum part of the PLMN selection is specified in TIA/EIA/IS-2000.5 and TIA/EIA/IS-707.
5.1.2
5.1.2.1
Support for PLMN Selection

General
On request of the NAS the AS should perform a search for available PLMNs and report them to NAS.
5.1.2.2
UTRA case
The UE shall scan all RF channels in the UTRA bands according to its capabilities to find available PLMNs. On each carrier, the UE shall search for the strongest cell and read its system information, in order to find out which PLMN the cell belongs to. If the UE can read one or several PLMN identities in the strongest cell, each found PLMN (see the PLMN reading in [4]) shall be reported to the NAS as a high quality PLMN (but without the RSCP value), provided that the following high quality criterion is fulfilled: 1. For an FDD cell, the measured primary CPICH RSCP value shall be greater than or equal to -95 dBm. 2. For a TDD cell, the measured P-CCPCH RSCP shall be greater than or equal to -84 dBm. Found PLMNs that do not satisfy the high quality criterion, but for which the UE has been able to read the PLMN identities are reported to the NAS together with the CPICH RSCP value for UTRA FDD cells and P-CCPCH RSCP for UTRA TDD cells. The quality measure reported by the UE to NAS shall be the same for each PLMN found in one cell. The search for PLMNs on the rest of the carriers may be stopped on request of the NAS. The UE may optimise this search by using stored information of carrier frequencies and optionally also information on cell parameters, e.g. scrambling codes, from previously received measurement control information elements. Once the UE has selected a PLMN, the cell selection procedure shall be performed in order to select a suitable cell of that PLMN to camp on. If a CSG ID is provided by NAS as part of PLMN selection, the UE shall search for an acceptable or suitable cell belonging to the provided CSG ID to camp on. When the UE is no longer camped on a cell with the provided CSG ID, AS shall inform NAS.

5.2.1
Cell selection and reselection in idle mode

Introduction
As stated in clause 1, the present document applies to UEs that support at least UTRA. Different types of measurements are used in different RATs and modes for the cell selection and reselection. The performance requirements for the measurements are specified in [10] and [11]. The NAS can control the RAT(s) in which the cell selection should be performed, for instance by indicating RAT(s) associated with the selected PLMN, and by maintaining a list of forbidden registration area(s) and a list of equivalent PLMNs. The UE shall select a suitable cell and the radio access mode based on idle mode measurements and cell selection criteria. In order to speed up the cell selection process, stored information for several RATs may be available in the UE. When camped on a cell, the UE shall regularly search for a better cell according to the cell reselection criteria. If a better cell is found, that cell is selected. The change of cell may imply a change of RAT. Details on performance requirements for cell reselection can be found in [10] and [11]. The NAS is informed if the cell selection and reselection results in changes in the received system information. For normal service, the UE has to camp on a suitable cell, tune to that cell's control channel(s) so that the UE can: Receive system information from the PLMN; Receive registration area information from the PLMN, e.g., location area and routing area; and Receive other AS and NAS Information;
If registered: receive paging and notification messages from the PLMN; and initiate call setup for outgoing calls or other actions from the UE.

Cell Selection process overview
Whenever a PLMN has been selected by NAS, the UE shall attempt to find a suitable cell to camp on.
ETSI
18
ETSI TS 125 304 V9.2.0 (2010-06)
The NAS may control the cell selection by: providing information on RAT(s) associated with the selected PLMN; maintaining lists of forbidden registration areas; providing a list of equivalent PLMNs;
One or several RATs may be associated with the selected PLMN. In [5] it is specified which RAT a UE shall select to search for a suitable cell of the selected PLMN. The AS shall attempt to find a suitable cell to camp on as specified in clause 5.2.3. When the MBMS frequency layer dispersion is triggered, the UE actions are specified in [4]. If a suitable cell is found, the UE shall select this cell to camp on, and report this event to NAS so that the necessary NAS registration procedures can be performed. When the registration is successful, the UE enters in state Camped normally in order to obtain normal service. If the UE is unable to find any suitable cell of selected PLMN the UE shall enter the Any cell selection state.
5.2.2.2
Camped normally state overview
In this state, the UE obtains normal service and performs the tasks specified in 5.2.5. If after a Cell reselection evaluation process a better cell is found, the Cell reselection procedure is performed. If no suitable cell is found, the UE shall enter the state Any cell selection. If a necessary NAS registration is rejected, the UE shall enter the Any cell selection state, except if the LR is rejected with cause #12, cause #14, cause #15 or cause #25. In this case the UE shall behave as specified in [5] and [16]. When UE leaves idle mode in order to enter the state Connected mode, the UE shall attempt to access the current serving cell. If the access attempt to the serving cell fails, the UE shall use the Cell reselection evaluation procedure.
5.2.2.3
Connected mode State overview
The procedures in Connected mode state are specified in [4] When returning to idle mode, the UE shall use the procedure Cell selection when leaving connected mode in order to find a suitable cell to camp on and enter state Camped normally. If a suitable cell is found, then the AS reports this event to NAS to be capable to perform necessary NAS registration procedures. If no suitable cell is found, the Stored information cell selection procedure shall be used. If no suitable cell is found in cell reselection evaluation process, the UE enters the state Any cell selection.
5.2.2.4
Any cell selection State overview
In this state the UE performs the tasks specified in subclause 5.2.8 The state Any cell selection is also entered if the NAS indicates that a location registration is rejected except if the LR is rejected with cause #12, cause #14, cause #15 or cause #25, see [5] and [16], or if there is no USIM in the UE. If the UE received an LR reject with cause #12, cause #14, cause #15 or cause #25, the UE shall behave as specified in [5] and [16]. If an acceptable cell is found, the UE shall inform the NAS and camp on this cell and obtain limited service, state Camped on any cell. The subsequent actions of the NAS regarding the PLMN selection are specified in [5].
5.2.2.5
Camped on any cell State overview
In this state the UE obtains limited service and shall behave as specified in subclause 5.2.9. In this state if the UE supports CS voice services, the UE shall avoid reselecting an acceptable cell of E-UTRA regardless of priorities provided in system information of current cell. The UE shall regularly attempt to find a suitable cell, trying all RATs that are supported by the UE. If a suitable cell is found, this causes an exit to number 2 in figure 2.

Cell Selection Process

UTRA case
Description
The UE shall use one of the following two search procedures: a) Initial Cell Selection This procedure requires no prior knowledge of which RF channels are UTRA carriers. The UE shall scan all RF channels in the UTRA bands according to its capabilities to find a suitable cell. On each carrier, the UE need only search for the strongest cell. Once a suitable cell is found this cell shall be selected. b) Stored Information Cell Selection This procedure requires stored information of carrier frequencies and optionally also information on cell parameters, e.g. scrambling codes, from previously received measurement control information elements. Once the UE has found a suitable cell the UE shall select it. If no suitable cell is found the Initial cell selection procedure shall be started.
5.2.3.1.2
Criteria
The cell selection criterion S is fulfilled when:
for FDD cells: for TDD cells:

Where:
Srxlev > 0 AND Squal > 0 Srxlev > 0
Squal = Q qualm eas (Qqualm in + Qqualm inO ffset) Srxlev = Q rxlevm eas (Q rxlevm in + Qrxlevm inOffset) Pcom pensation
Where: the signalled values QqualminOffset and QrxlevminOffset are only applied when a cell is evaluated for cell selection as a result of a periodic search for a higher priority PLMN while camped normally in a VPLMN [5]. During this periodic search for higher priority PLMN the UE may check the S criteria of a cell using parameter values stored from a different cell of this higher priority PLMN.

In the cell reselection process, an MBMS PL shall only be applicable while the UE is receiving an MBMS session from one or more of the ongoing activated MBMS services for which this PL is indicated.
5.2.6.1.1
Measurement rules for cell re-selection when HCS is not used
The measurement rules below apply in Idle, URA_PCH, CELL_PCH states. For FDD, 3.84 Mcps TDD and 7.68 Mcps TDD, in CELL_FACH state the measurement rules below apply only if HS-DSCH discontinuous reception is configured, as specified in [4] and according to the requirements specified in [10]. Otherwise, the UE is required to perform measurements on all intra-frequency, inter-frequency and inter-RAT cells listed in system information according to requirements specified in [10]. For 1.28 Mcps TDD, in CELL_FACH state the UE is required to perform measurements on all intra-frequency, inter-frequency and inter-RAT cells listed in system information according to requirements specified in [11]. In Idle, URA_PCH, CELL_PCH and CELL_FACH states the UE shall only consider those cells the UE is mandated to measure according to the measurement rules below as measured cells in the cell reselection criteria (subclause 5.2.6.1.4). If the system information broadcast in the serving cell indicates that HCS is not used, then for intra-frequency and interfrequency measurements and inter-RAT measurements, the UE shall: use Squal for FDD cells and Srxlev for TDD for Sx, and apply the following rules.
1. If Sx > Sintrasearch, UE may choose to not perform intra-frequency measurements. If Sx <= Sintrasearch, perform intra-frequency measurements. If Sintrasearch, is not sent for serving cell, perform intra-frequency measurements. If the system information broadcast in the serving cell indicates that HCS is not used and absolute priorities for interfrequency layers are not provided, then for inter-frequency measurements the UE shall: 2. If Sx > Sintersearch and MBMS PL has not been indicated, and Srxlev > SsearchHCS if SsearchHCS is signalled, UE may choose to not perform inter-frequency measurements. If Sx > Sintersearchand MBMS PL has been indicated and the serving cell belongs to the MBMS PL, and Srxlev > SsearchHCS if SsearchHCS is signalled, UE may choose to not perform inter-frequency measurements. If Sx > Sintersearch, and MBMS PL has been indicated and the serving cell does not belong to the MBMS PL, and Srxlev > SsearchHCS if SsearchHCS is signalled, UE shall at least perform inter-frequency measurements on the MBMS PL. If Sx <= Sintersearch, or Srxlev <= SsearchHCS if SsearchHCS is signalled, perform inter-frequency measurements. If Sintersearch, is not sent for serving cell, perform inter-frequency measurements. If Dedicated CSG frequencies have been indicated by system information the UE may choose not to perform inter-frequency measurments of these frequencies. If the system information broadcast in the serving cell indicates that HCS is not used and absolute priorities for some inter-RAT layers are not provided, then for inter-RAT measurements on RATs for which absolute priority information is not provided the UE shall: 3. If Sx > SsearchRAT m, and Srxlev > SHCS,RATm if SHCS,RATm is signalled, UE may choose to not perform measurements on cells of RAT "m". If Sx <= SsearchRAT m, or Srxlev <= SHCS,RATm if SHCS,RATm is signalled, perform measurements on cells of RAT "m". If SsearchRAT m, is not sent for serving cell, perform measurements on cells of RAT "m". If HCS is not used and if Slimit,SearchRATm is sent for serving cell, UE shall ignore it.

ETSI TS 125 304 V9.2.0 (2010-06)
NOTE:
The presence of SsearchHCS and SHCS,RATm thresholds in system information are used to avoid introducing new parameters to system information and their presence does not imply that HCS is used.
5.2.6.1.1a
High-mobility state when HCS is not used
High-mobility state, as applied in HCS case, is also applicable in non-HCS if the parameters non-HCS_ TCRmax, nonHCS_NCR and non-HCS_TCRmaxhyst are sent on the system information broadcast. If in non-HCS environment the number of cell reselections during time period non-HCS_TCRmax exceeds non-HCS_NCR, or if the network (via RRC signalling) has ordered the UE to consider itself to be in high-mobility state, then highmobility state has been detected. When the number of cell reselections during time period non-HCS_TCRmax no longer exceeds non-HCS_NCR, the UE shall: continue in high-mobility state. if the criteria for entering high-mobility state is not detected during time period non-HCS-TCrmaxHyst: exit high-mobility state.
If the UE is in non-HCS environment and in high-mobility state, the UE shall apply the speed dependent scaling rules as defined in subclause 5.2.6.1.4.
5.2.6.1.2
Measurement rules for cell re-selection when HCS is used
The measurement rules below apply in Idle, URA_PCH, CELL_PCH states. For FDD, 3.84 Mcps TDD and 7.68 Mcps TDD, in CELL_FACH state the measurement rules below apply only if HS-DSCH discontinuous reception is configured, as specified in [4] and according to the requirements specified in [10]. Otherwise, the UE is required to perform measurements on all intra-frequency, inter-frequency and inter-RAT cells listed in system information according to requirements specified in [10]. For 1.28 Mcps TDD, in CELL_FACH state the UE is required to perform measurements on all intra-frequency, inter-frequency and inter-RAT cells listed in system information according to requirements specified in [11]. In Idle, URA_PCH, CELL_PCH and CELL_FACH states the UE shall only consider those cells the UE is mandated to measure according to the measurement rules below as measured cells in the cell reselection criteria (subclause 5.2.6.1.4). HCS shall not be used for inter-frequency and inter-RAT reselection if absolute priority based cell reselection is used (see subclause 5.2.6.1.4a). Use Squal for FDD cells and Srxlev for TDD cells for Sx and apply the following rules. If the system information broadcast in the serving cell indicates that HCS is used, then for intra-frequency and interfrequency measurements, the UE shall: use HCS priority1 as the HCS priority broadcast in the system information and apply the following rule: IF an MBMS PL is used THEN If the UE is not in high-mobility state, for serving cell and neighbour cells belonging to the MBMS PL set the HCS priority = HCS priority1 + HCS_OFFmbms. If the UE is in high-mobility state, for serving cell and neighbour cells belonging to the MBMS PL set the HCS priority = HCS priority1. for serving cell and neighbour cells not belonging to the MBMS PL, set the HCS priority = HCS priority1.
IF an MBMS PL is not used THEN For serving cell and all neighbour cells set HCS priority = HCS priority1 Then apply this to the following: 1. For intra-frequency and inter-frequency measurement rules for UEs not in high-mobility state IF (Srxlevs <= SsearchHCS) or (if FDD and Sx <= Sintersearch) THEN
ETSI
23
ETSI TS 125 304 V9.2.0 (2010-06)
measure on all intra-frequency and inter-frequency cells. ELSE IF (Sx > Sintrasearch) THEN measure on all intra-frequency and inter-frequency cells, which have higher HCS priority level than the serving cell ELSE measure on all intra-frequency and inter-frequency cells, which have equal or higher HCS priority level than the serving cell ENDIF IF (Sintrasearch is not sent for the serving cell) THEN measure on all intra-frequency cells. UEs in high-mobility state may also use this rule. measure on all inter-frequency cells, which have higher HCS priority level than the serving cell unless measurement rules for UEs in high-mobility state are triggered. ENDIF ENDIF If HCS is used and if SsearchHCS or Sintersearch (in FDD) are not sent for the serving cell, UE shall: measure on all intra-frequency and inter-frequency cells. 2. For intra-frequency and inter-frequency measurement rules for UE"s in high-mobility state: If the number of cell reselections during time period TCRmax exceeds NCR, or if the network (via RRC signalling) has ordered the UE to consider itself in high-mobility state, then high-mobility state has been detected. In this high-mobility state, the UE shall IF (Srxlevs <= SsearchHCS) or (if FDD and Sx <= Sintersearch), or SsearchHCS or Sintersearch (in FDD) are not sent for the serving cell THEN measure on all intra-frequency and inter-frequency cells. ELSE measure intra-frequency and inter-frequency neighbouring cells, which have equal or lower HCS priority than serving cell. ENDIF
When the number of cell reselections during time period TCRmax no longer exceeds NCR, UE shall continue these measurements during time period TCrmaxHyst if the criteria for entering high-mobility state is not detected during time period TCrmaxHyst: exit high-mobility state.
If Dedicated CSG frequencies have been indicated by System Information the UE may choose not to perform interfrequency measurements of these frequencies. When serving cell belongs to a hierarchical cell structure, the UE shall follow these rules for Inter-RAT measurements: 1. Inter-RAT threshold-based measurement rules for UEs not in high-mobility state IF (Srxlevs <= SHCS,RATm) or (if FDD and Sx <= SSearchRATm) THEN

5.2.6.1.2a
Measurement rules for inter-frequency and inter-RAT cell reselection when absolute priorities are used
The measurement rules below apply in Idle, URA_PCH, CELL_PCH states. In CELL_FACH state the UE is required to perform measurements of inter-frequency and inter-RAT cells listed in system information according to requirements specified in [10]. UE specific priorities are not applied in camped on any cell state. If the UE has received absolute priority information for inter-frequency layers, the UE shall follow these rules: The UE shall perform measurements of inter-frequency layers with a priority higher than the priority of the current serving layer. The rate of these measurements may vary depending on whether Srxlev and Squal of the serving cell are above or below Sprioritysearch1 and Sprioritysearch2. This is specified in [10].
NOTE: -
When the UE in camped normally state, has only dedicated priorities other than for the current frequency, the UE shall consider the current frequency to be the lowest priority frequency (i.e. lower than the eight network configured values). For inter-frequency layers with a priority equal or lower than the priority of the current serving layer:
ETSI
25
ETSI TS 125 304 V9.2.0 (2010-06)
If SrxlevServingCell > Sprioritysearch1 and SqualServingCell > Sprioritysearch2 the UE may choose not to perform measurements of inter-frequency layers of equal or lower priority. If SrxlevServingCell <= Sprioritysearch1 or SqualServingCell <= Sprioritysearch2 the UE shall perform measurements of inter-frequency layers of equal or lower priority.
The UE shall not perform measurements of inter-frequency layers for which the UE has no absolute priority.
If the UE has received absolute priority information for inter-RAT layers, the UE shall follow these rules: The UE shall perform measurements of inter-RAT layers with a priority higher than the priority of the current serving cell. The rate of these measurements may vary depending on whether Srxlev and Squal of the serving cell are above or below Sprioritysearch1 and Sprioritysearch2. This is specified in [10].
NOTE: -
For inter-RAT layers with a priority lower than the priority of the current serving cell: If SrxlevServingCell > Sprioritysearch1 and SqualServingCell > Sprioritysearch2 the UE may choose not to perform measurements of inter-RAT layers of lower priority. If SrxlevServingCell <= Sprioritysearch1 or SqualServingCell <= Sprioritysearch2 the UE shall perform measurements of inter-RAT layers of lower priority.
The UE shall perform measurements according to subclause 5.2.6.1.1 for inter-RAT layers for which the UE has no absolute priority. For all inter-RAT layers belonging to one RAT, either the rules above or the rules in subclause 5.2.6.1.1 or 5.2.6.1.2 shall apply.
5.2.6.1.3
Highest ranked cells with cell reservations, access restrictions or unsuitable for normal camping
For the highest ranked cell (including serving cell) according to cell reselection criteria specified in subclause 5.2.6.1.4, or for the best cell according to absolute priority reselection criteria specified in subclause 5.2.6.1.4a, the UE shall check if the access is restricted according to the rules in subclause 5.3.1.1. If that cell and other cells have to be excluded from the candidate list, as stated in subclause 5.3.1.1, the UE shall not consider these as candidates for cell reselection. This limitation is removed when the highest ranked cell changes. If the highest ranked cell or best cell according to absolute priority reselection rules is an intra-frequency or interfrequency cell which is not suitable due to being part of the "list of forbidden LAs for roaming" or belonging to a PLMN which is not indicated as being equivalent to the registered PLMN, the UE shall not consider this cell and other cells on the same frequency, as candidates for reselection for a maximum of 300s. If the UE has to perform an any cell selection procedure any limitation shall be removed. If the UE is redirected under UTRAN control to a frequency for which the timer is running, any limitation on that frequency shall be removed. If the highest ranked cell or best cell according to absolute priority reselection rules is an inter-RAT cell which is not suitable due to being part of the "list of forbidden LAs for roaming" or belonging to a PLMN which is not indicated as being equivalent to the registered PLMN, the UE shall not consider this cell and other cells on the same frequency as candidates for reselection for a maximum of 300s. If the UE has to perform an any cell selection procedure any limitation shall be removed. If the UE is redirected under UTRAN control to a frequency for which the timer is running, any limitation on that frequency shall be removed.
5.2.6.1.4
Cell Reselection Criteria
The following cell re-selection criteria are used for intra-frequency cells, inter-frequency cells if no absolute priority information for any inter-frequency layer is available to the UE, and inter-RAT cells if no absolute priority information for any inter-RAT layer is available to the UE for that RAT. For inter-frequency and inter-RAT layers in a RAT for which absolute priorities are defined, then the cell reselection criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4a shall apply. The quality level threshold criterion H for hierarchical cell structures is used to determine whether prioritised ranking according to hierarchical cell re-selection rules shall apply, and is defined by:
ETSI
26
ETSI TS 125 304 V9.2.0 (2010-06)
Hs = Qmeas,s - Qhcss Hn = Qmeas,n - Qhcsn TOn * Ln
If it is indicated in system information that HCS is not used, the quality level threshold criterion H is not applied. The cell-ranking criterion R is defined by:
Rs = Qmeas,s + Qhysts + Qoffmbms Rn = Qmeas,n - Qoffsets,n + Qoffmbms - TOn * (1 Ln)

where: where: the signalled value Qoffmbms is only applied to those cells (serving or neighbouring) belonging to the MBMS PL for a CSG cell not included in the neighbour cell list, then Qoffsets,n and Qoffmbms have the value 0.
TOn = TEMP_OFFSETn * W(PENALTY_TIMEn Tn) Ln = 0 Ln = 1 W(x) = 0 W(x) = 1 if HCS_PRIOn = HCS_PRIOs if HCS_PRIOn <> HCS_PRIOs for x < 0 for x >= 0
TEMP_OFFSETn applies an offset to the H and R criteria for the duration of PENALTY_TIMEn after a timer Tn has started for that neighbouring cell. TEMP_OFFSETn and PENALTY_TIMEn are only applicable if the usage of HCS is indicated in system information. The timer Tn is implemented for each neighbouring cell. Tn shall be started from zero when one of the following conditions becomes true: if HCS_PRIOn <> HCS_PRIOs and Qmeas,n >= Qhcsn Or if HCS_PRIOn = HCS_PRIOs and for serving FDD and neighbour FDD cells if the quality measure for cell selection and reselection is set to CPICH RSCP in the serving cell, and: Qmeas,n > Qmeas,s + Qoffset1s,n

for serving FDD and neighbour FDD cells if the quality measure for cell selection and reselection is set to CPICH Ec/No in the serving cell, and: Qmeas,n > Qmeas,s + Qoffset2s,n
for all other serving and neighbour cells: Qmeas,n > Qmeas,s + Qoffset1s,n
Tn for the associated neighbour cell shall be stopped as soon as any of the above conditions are no longer fulfilled. Any value calculated for TOn is valid only if the associated timer Tn is still running else TOn shall be set to zero. At cell-reselection, a timer Tn is stopped only if the corresponding cell is not a neighbour cell of the new serving cell, or if the criteria given above for starting timer Tn for the corresponding cell is no longer fulfilled with the parameters of the new serving cell. On cell re-selection, timer Tn shall be continued to be run for the corresponding cells but the criteria given above shall be evaluated with parameters broadcast in the new serving cell if the corresponding cells are neighbours of the new serving cell.
Sn Qmeas Cell Selection value of the neighbouring cell, (dB) Quality value. The quality value of the received signal derived from the averaged CPICH Ec/No or CPICH RSCP for FDD cells, from the averaged P-CCPCH RSCP for TDD cells and from the averaged received signal level for GSM cells. The averaging of these measurement quantities are performed as specified in [10] and [11]. For FDD cells, the measurement that is used to derive the quality value is set by the Cell_selection_and_reselection_quality_measure information element.
Cell reselection parameters broadcast in system information are listed in subclause 5.2.6.1.5. The cell selection criterion S used for cell reselection is fulfilled when:
for FDD cells: for TDD cells: for GSM cells:
Srxlev > 0 AND Squal > 0 Srxlev > 0 Srxlev > 0
for E-UTRAN cells: Srxlev > 0

This is received signal, CPICH RSCP for FDD cells (dBm), P-CCPCH RSCP for TDD cells (dBm), the averaged received signal level as specified in [10] for GSM cells (dBm) and the averaged RSRP as specified in [10] for E-UTRA cells (dBm). CPICH RSCP, P-CCPCH RSCP, the received signal level for GSM cells and the RSRP for E-UTRA cells shall be averaged as specified in [10] and [11]. Minimum required quality level in the cell (dB). Applicable only for FDD cells. Minimum required RX level in the cell (dBm) max(UE_TXPWR_MAX_RACH P_MAX, 0) (dB) Maximum TX power level an UE may use when accessing the cell on RACH (read in system information) (dBm) Maximum RF output power of the UE (dBm)
For a CSG cell not included in the neighbour cell list, the cell specific parameter values to be used shall be the same as the serving cell. If HCS is not used in the serving cell the UE shall perform ranking of all cells that fulfil the criterion S, among: all measured cells (see subclause 5.2.6.1.1).
If HCS is used in the serving cell, then from the cells that fulfil the criterion S, the UE shall perform ranking of all cells among 1. when not in high-mobility state (see subclause 5.2.6.1.2), all measured cells, that have the highest HCS_PRIO among those cells that fulfil the criterion H >= 0. all measured cells, not considering HCS priority levels, if no cell fulfil the criterion H >= 0.
2 when in high-mobility state (see subclause 5.2.6.1.2), all measured cells, and among these cells: if there are cells with a lower HCS priority than the serving cell that fulfil the criterion H >= 0: from the cells that have a lower HCS priority than the serving cell, all cells that have the highest HCS_PRIO among those cells that fulfil the criterion H >=0;
else: if there are cells that fulfil the criterion H >= 0 with an HCS priority higher or equal to the HCS priority of the serving cell: from the cells that have an HCS priority higher or equal to the HCS priority of the serving cell, all cells that have the lowest HCS_PRIO among those cells that fulfil the criterion H >=0;

ETSI TS 125 304 V9.2.0 (2010-06)
The cells shall be ranked according to the R criteria specified above, deriving Qmeas,n and Qmeas,s and calculating the R values using CPICH RSCP, P-CCPCH RSCP and the averaged received signal level as specified in [10] and [11] for FDD, TDD and GSM cells, respectively. The offset Qoffset1s,n is used for Qoffsets,n to calculate Rn, the hysteresis Qhyst1s is used for Qhysts to calculate Rs. For UE in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH or URA_PCH the hysteresis Qhysts takes the value Qhyst1s,PCH to calculate Rs, if provided in SIB4 [see 4]. For UE in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH the hysteresis Qhysts takes the value Qhyst1s,FACH to calculate Rs, if provided in SIB4 [see 4]. If the usage of HCS is indicated in system information, TEMP_OFFSET1n is used for TEMP_OFFSETn to calculate TOn. If it is indicated in system information that HCS is not used, TEMP_OFFSETn is not applied when calculating Rn. The best ranked cell is the cell with the highest R value. If a TDD or GSM cell is ranked as the best cell, then the UE shall perform cell re-selection to that TDD or GSM cell. If an FDD cell is ranked as the best cell and the quality measure for cell selection and re-selection is set to CPICH RSCP, the UE shall perform cell re-selection to that FDD cell. If this cell is found to be not suitable, the UE shall behave according to subclause 5.2.6.1.3. If an FDD cell is ranked as the best cell and the quality measure for cell selection and re-selection is set to CPICH Ec/No, the UE shall perform a second ranking of the FDD cells according to the R criteria specified above, but using the measurement quantity CPICH Ec/No for deriving the Qmeas,n and Qmeas,s and calculating the R values of the FDD cells. The offset Qoffset2s,n is used for Qoffsets,n to calculate Rn, the hysteresis Qhyst2s is used for Qhysts to calculate Rs. For UE in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH or URA_PCH the hysteresis Qhysts takes the value Qhyst2s,PCH to calculate Rs, if provided in SIB4 [see 4]. For UE in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH the hysteresis Qhysts takes the value Qhyst2s,FACH to calculate Rs, if provided in SIB4 [see 4]. If the usage of HCS is indicated in system information, TEMP_OFFSET2n is used to calculate TOn. If it is indicated in system information that HCS is not used, TEMP_OFFSETn is not applied when calculating Rn. Following this second ranking, the UE shall perform cell reselection to the best ranked FDD cell. If this cell is found to be not suitable, the UE shall behave according to subclause 5.2.6.1.3. In all cases, the UE shall reselect the new cell, only if the following conditions are met: the new cell is better ranked than the serving cell during the preceding time interval Treselection. For UE in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH or URA_PCH the interval Treselections,PCH applies, if provided in SIB4 [see 4], while for UE in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH the interval Treselections,FACH applies, if provided in SIB4 [see 4]. For hierarchical cell structures when high-mobility state has not been detected, if according to the HCS rules the serving cell is not ranked then all the ranked cells are considered to be better ranked than the serving cell. In case the UE reselects to a cell on an MBMS preferred frequency to receive an MBMS service not available on the current frequency the UE may reduce interval TreselectionS, TreselectionS, PCH and TreselectionS, FACH. Additionally the UE shall apply the following scaling rules to Treselections or Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH: For intra-frequency cells and high-mobility state not detected: no scaling applied.
For intra-frequency cells and high-mobility state is detected: multiply Treselections or Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH by the IE "Speed dependent ScalingFactor for_Treselection" if sent on system information.
For inter-frequency cells and high-mobility state not detected: multiply Treselections or Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH by the IE "Inter-Frequency ScalingFactor for Treselection" if sent on system information.
For inter-frequency cells and high-mobility state is detected: multiply Treselections or Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH by both the IEs "Speed dependent ScalingFactor for_Treselection" if sent on system information and "Inter-Frequency ScalingFactor for Treselection" if sent on system information.

ETSI TS 125 304 V9.2.0 (2010-06)
For inter-RAT cells and high-mobility state not detected: multiply Treselections or Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH by the IE "Inter-RAT ScalingFactor for Treselection" if sent on system information.
For inter-RAT cells and high-mobility state is detected: multiply Treselections or Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH by both the IEs 'Speed dependent ScalingFactor for_Treselection' if sent on system information and 'Inter-RAT ScalingFactor for Treselection" if sent on system information.
In case scaling is applied to Treselections or Treselections,PCH, the UE shall round up the result after all scalings to the nearest second. In case scaling is applied to Treselections,FACH, the UE shall round up the result after all scalings to the nearest 0.2 seconds. more than 1 second has elapsed since the UE camped on the current serving cell. For FDD the UE does not have an allocated common E-DCH resource. For 1.28 Mcps TDD, the UE does not have CELL Reselection Indication procedure ongoing.
For FDD the UE continues taking intra-frequency measurements and ranking cells while it has an allocated common EDCH resource. For 1.28 Mcps TDD, the UE continues taking measurements and ranking cells while it has the CELL Reselection Indication procedure ongoing as in [19].
5.2.6.1.4a
Absolute priority based criteria for inter-frequency and inter-RAT cell reselection
Absolute priorities of different absolute priority layers may be provided to the UE. The following cell reselection criteria are used for inter-frequency cells if absolute priority information for inter-frequency is available to the UE, and inter-RAT cells if absolute priority information for inter-RAT is available to the UE. If System Information Block 18 with UTRAN information is provided then the UE shall apply the inter-frequency priority rules below only to UTRAN cells of the selected PLMN or equivalent PLMNs. If System Information Block 18 is not provided, or is provided but contains no information for UTRAN, then the rules below apply for the entire UTRAN RAT. If System Information Block 18 with GERAN information is provided then the UE shall apply the GERAN RAT priority rules below only to GERAN cells of the selected PLMN or equivalent PLMNs. If System Information Block 18 is not provided, or is provided but contains no information for GERAN, then the rules below apply for the entire GERAN RAT. If priority information is provided for any inter-frequency layers, cells belonging to inter-frequency layers for which no priority or no threshold is assigned shall not be considered for reselection. If priority information is provided for any inter-RAT layers in a RAT, cells belonging to layers in that RAT for which no priority or no threshold is assigned shall not be considered for reselection. If none of the inter-frequency layers in UTRAN are provided with both priority and threshold parameters, the cell reselection criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4 shall apply for inter-frequency layers in UTRAN. If none of the inter-RAT layers in a RAT are provided with both priority and threshold parameters, the cell reselection criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4 shall apply for that RAT. If both criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4 and criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4a are simultaneously fullfilled, the order in which the reselection criteria are evaluated is left to UE implementation. NOTE: In order not to apply absolute priority but the cell reselection criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4 for interfrequencies cell reselection in UTRAN or for inter-RAT cell reselection, the network may choose to configure no inter-frequency layers in UTRAN or no inter-RAT layers in a RAT in SIB19 even though dedicated priorities are provided.
For all inter-frequency layers or all inter-RAT layers belonging to one RAT, either the criteria below or the criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4 shall apply.
ETSI
31
ETSI TS 125 304 V9.2.0 (2010-06)
The UE may apply either priorities broadcast in system information or priorities received through dedicated signalling. The rules regarding which set of priorities shall apply are defined in [4]. UE specific priorities are only valid in the RPLMN, and shall be cleared when the validity time of the UE specific priorities expires, or when leaving the RPLMN. UE specific priorities are not applied in camped on any cell state. When the UE in camped normally state, has only dedicated priorities other than for the current frequency, the UE shall consider the current frequency to be the lowest priority frequency (i.e. lower than the eight network configured values). The UE shall inherit the priorities provided by dedicated signalling and the remaining validity time (i.e., T320 in EUTRA, T322 in UTRA and T3230 in GERAN), if configured, at inter-RAT cell (re)selection. The following definitions apply for the layers for which Threshx,high2 or Threshx,low2 are not provided: Criterion 1: the SrxlevnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated higher absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,high during a time interval Treselection; Criterion 2: SrxlevServingCell < Threshserving,low or SqualServingCell < 0 and the SrxlevnonServingCell,x of a inter-frequency cell on an evaluated equal absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,low during a time interval Treselection; Criterion 3: SrxlevServingCell < Threshserving,low or SqualServingCell < 0 and the SrxlevnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated lower absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,low during a time interval Treselection;
The following definitions apply for the layers for which both Threshx,high2 and Threshx,low2 are provided: Criterion 4: the SqualnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated higher absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,high2 during a time interval Treselection; Criterion 5: SqualServingCell < Threshserving,low2 and the SqualnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated lower absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,low2 during a time interval Treselection;
Cell reselection to a cell on a higher absolute priority layer than the camped frequency shall be performed if criterion 1 or 4 is fulfilled. Cell reselection to an inter-frequency cell on an equal absolute priority layer to the camped frequency shall be performed if criterion 2 is fulfilled. Cell reselection to a cell on a lower absolute priority layer than the camped frequency shall be performed if criterion 3 or 5 is fulfilled. If more than one cell meets the above criteria, the UE shall reselect the cell with the highest SrxlevnonServingCell,x among the cells meeting the criteria on the highest absolute priority layer. The UE shall not perform cell reselection to cells for which the cell selection criterion S is not fulfilled. The UE shall not perform cell reselection until more than 1 second has elapsed since the UE camped on the current serving cell. For UE in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH or URA_PCH the interval Treselections,PCH applies, if provided in SIB4 (see [4]), while for UE in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH the interval Treselections,FACH applies, if provided in SIB4 (see [4]). In all the above criteria the values of Treselections, Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH apply for Treselection and are scaled according to the UE mobility state and target RAT, as specified in 5.2.6.1.1a.
5.2.6.1.5

Cell reselection with CSG cells

Cell reselection from a non-CSG cell to a CSG cell
In addition to normal cell reselection, the UE shall use an autonomous search function to detect allowed CSG cells on non-serving frequencies, including inter-RAT frequencies, when at least one CSG ID is included in the UE"s CSG whitelist. The UE is required to perform autonomous search function in Idle, Cell_PCH and URA_PCH states. The UE shall disable the autonomous search function for CSG cells if the UE"s CSG whitelist is empty. If "Dedicated CSG frequency(ies) " IE is present, the UE may use the autonomous search function only on these dedicated frequencies and on the other frequencies listed in the system information. NOTE: The UE autonomous search function, per UE implementation, determines when and/or where to search for allowed CSG cells. The UE autonomous search function should find previously visited allowed CSG cells.
When the UE has no or an empty CSG whitelist, the UE may ignore cells with PSC in the stored range "CSG PSC Split Information" [4] reserved for CSG cells for intra-frequency and inter-frequency measurements and cell re-selections. If the UE detects a suitable CSG cell on the same frequency it shall reselect this cell if the concerned CSG cell is the highest ranked cell, according to 5.2.6.1.4. If the UE detects a suitable CSG cell on a different frequency it shall reselect this cell irrespective of the cell reselection rules applicable for the cell the UE is currently camped on, if the detected suitable CSG cell is the strongest cell on that frequency. If suitable CSG cells are detected on different frequencies and these are the strongest cells on their frequencies, then the UE shall reselect to any one of them. If the UE detects one or more suitable CSG cell on another RAT, the UE shall reselect to one of them according to [18].
5.2.6.4.2
Cell reselection from a CSG cell to non-CSG cell
While camped on a suitable CSG cell, the UE shall consider the frequency of the serving cell to be the highest priority frequency (i.e. higher than the eight network configured values or highest HCS priority) and shall not reselect to nonCSG cell as long as the serving cell remains the highest ranked cell on that frequency (This includes the case when the UE has only dedicated priorities for other frequencies but not for the current frequency, i.e. the UE does not consider the current frequency to be the lowest priority frequency according to rules in 5.2.6.1.2a and 5.2.6.1.4a). Cell reselection rules as defined in section 5.2.6.1 are applied for cell reselection from a CSG cell to non-CSG cell.

Cell reselection from a CSG cell to a CSG cell
To search for CSG cells not listed in the system information of the serving CSG cell, the UE may use the autonomous search function when at least one CSG ID is included in the UE"s CSG whitelist. The UE is required to perform autonomous search function in Idle, Cell_PCH and URA_PCH states. If "Dedicated CSG frequency(ies)" IE is present, the UE may use the autonomous search function only on dedicated frequencies and on other frequencies listed in the system information. If the UE detects a suitable CSG cell on the same frequency, it shall reselect to this cell if the concerned CSG cell is the highest ranked cell, according to 5.2.6.1.4. While camped on a suitable CSG cell, the UE shall consider the frequency of the serving cell to be the highest priority frequency (i.e. higher than the eight network configured values or highest HCS priority) as long as the serving cell is the highest ranked cell on that frequency (This includes the case when the UE has only dedicated priorities for other frequencies but not for the current frequency, i.e. the UE does not consider the current frequency to be the lowest priority frequency according to rules in 5.2.6.1.2a and 5.2.6.1.4a). If the UE detects one or more suitable CSG cell on another RAT, the UE may reselect to one of them according to [18]. For reselection to neighbour CSG cells listed in the system information of the serving CSG cell the UE shall apply cell measurement rules according to 5.2.6. If the UE detects a suitable CSG cell that is listed in the system information of the serving cell on other frequencies, and the detected CSG cell is the strongest cell on that frequency, then the UE shall consider these frequencies to have a priority equal to the current frequency and shall follow cell reselection rules according to 5.2.6.1.4 and 5.2.6.1.4a.
5.2.6.5
Cell Reselection with Hybrid Cells
In addition to normal cell reselection rules, UE shall use an autonomous search function to detect hybrid cells whose CSG IDs are in the UE's CSG whitelist. The UE shall treat detected hybrid cells as CSG cells if the CSG ID of the hybrid cell is in the UE"s CSG whitelist and as normal cells otherwise.

Cell Reservations and Access Restrictions (cells not operating in MBSFN mode)
UTRA cells
There are two mechanisms which allow an operator to impose cell reservations or access restrictions. The first mechanism uses indication of cell status and special reservations for control of cell selection and re-selection procedures. The second mechanism, referred to as Access Control, shall allow to prevent selected classes of users from sending initial access messages for load control reasons. At subscription, one or more Access Classes are allocated to the subscriber and stored in the USIM [9], which are employed for this purpose.
5.3.1.1
Cell status and cell reservations
Cell status and cell reservations are indicated with the Cell Access Restriction Information Element in the System Information Message [4] by means of four Information Elements: Cell barred (IE type: "barred" or "not barred"), Cell Reserved for operator use (IE type: "reserved" or "not reserved"), Cell reserved for future extension (IE type: "reserved" or "not reserved"). Cell reserved for CSG (IE type: "true" or not present).
When cell status is indicated as "not barred", "not reserved" for operator use and "not reserved" for future extension (Cell Reservation Extension), All UEs shall treat this cell as candidate during the cell selection and cell re-selection procedures in Idle mode and in Connected mode.
ETSI
38
ETSI TS 125 304 V9.2.0 (2010-06)
When cell status is indicated as "not barred", "not reserved" for operator use and "reserved" for future extension (Cell Reservation Extension), If Cell Reserved for CSG is indicated then CSG capable UEs shall behave as if cell status is indicated as "not reserved" for future extension (Cell Reservation Extension). If Cell Reserved for CSG is not indicated then UEs shall behave as if cell status "barred" is indicated using the value "not allowed" in the IE "Intra-frequency cell re-selection indicator" and the maximum value for Tbarred, see [4] (see also below).
When cell status is indicated as "not barred" and "reserved" for operator use, If the UE is assigned an Access Class 11 or 15 and if the cell belongs to the home PLMN or to any EHPLMN: the UE shall treat this cell as candidate during the cell selection and cell re-selection procedures in Idle mode and in Connected mode.
else: UEs shall behave as if cell status "barred" is indicated using the value "not allowed" in the IE "Intra-frequency cell re-selection indicator" and the maximum value for Tbarred, see [4] (see also below).
When cell status "barred" is indicated, The UE is not permitted to select/re-select this cell, not even for emergency calls. The UE shall ignore the "Cell Reserved for future extension (Cell Reservation Extension) use" IE. The UE is not permitted to receive any MBMS services. The UE shall select another cell according to the following rule: If the "Intra-frequency cell re-selection indicator" IE in Cell Access Restriction IE is set to value "allowed", the UE may select another cell on the same frequency if selection/re-selection criteria are fulfilled. If the UE is camping on another cell, the UE shall exclude the barred cell from the neighbouring cell list until the expiry of a time interval Tbarred. The time interval Tbarred is sent via system information in a barred cell together with Cell status information in the Cell Access Restriction IE. If the UE does not select another cell, and the barred cell remains to be the "best" one, the UE shall after expiry of the time interval Tbarred again check whether the status of the barred cell has changed.
If the "Intra-frequency cell re-selection indicator" IE is set to "not allowed" the UE shall not re-select a cell on the same frequency as the barred cell. During an ongoing emergency call, the Intra-frequency cell reselection indicator IE" shall be ignored, i.e. even if it is set to "not allowed" the UE may select another intrafrequency cell. If the barred cell remains to be the "best" one, the UE shall after expiry of the time interval Tbarred again check whether the status of the barred cell has changed.
If the "Intra-frequency cell re-selection indicator" IE has been read from a CSG cell it shall be ignored by the UE and the UE is allowed to reselect another cell on the same frequency if the cell reselection criteria are fulfilled. The reselection to another cell may also include a change of RAT.
5.3.1.2
Access Control
Information on cell access restrictions associated with the Access Classes is broadcast as system information, [4]. The UE shall ignore Access Class related cell access restrictions when selecting a cell to camp on, i.e. it shall not reject a cell for camping on because access on that cell is not allowed for any of the Access Classes of the UE. A change of the indicated access restriction shall not trigger cell re-selection by the UE. Access Class related cell access restrictions shall be checked by the UE before sending an RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message when entering Connected Mode from UTRAN Idle mode. Access Class related cell access restrictions, if it is sent as a part of Domain Specific Access Restriction parameters, shall also be checked by the UE
ETSI
39
ETSI TS 125 304 V9.2.0 (2010-06)
before sending INITIAL DIRECT TRANSFER message. Access Class related cell access restrictions, if it is sent as a part of Paging Permission with Access Control Parameters, shall be checked by the UE before sending a response to Paging message or before initiating a Location/Registration procedure. Otherwise, cell access restrictions associated with the Access Classes shall not apply for a UE which already is in Connected Mode.
5.3.1.3
Emergency Call
A restriction on emergency calls, if needed, shall be indicated in the "Access class barred list" IE [4]. If access class 10 is indicated as barred in a cell, UEs with access class 0 to 9 or without an IMSI are not allowed to initiate emergency calls in this cell. For UEs with access classes 11 to 15, emergency calls are not allowed if both access class 10 and the relevant access class (11 to 15) are barred. Otherwise, emergency calls are allowed for those UEs. Full details of operation under "Access class barred list" are described in [9].

For an MBSFN cluster (see [4]) when cell status is indicated "not reserved" for operator use and "not reserved" for future extension (Cell Reservation Extension), and Cell Barred is set to "barred" or "not barred", All UEs shall treat this MBSFN cluster as a candidate during the MBSFN cluster selection and MBSFN cluster re-selection procedures.
For an MBSFN cluster (see [4]) when cell status is indicated as "not reserved" for operator use and "reserved" for future extension (Cell Reservation Extension), UEs shall not consider this MBSFN cluster as a candidate during the MBSFN cluster selection and MBSFN cluster re-selection procedures. The UE may choose to not recheck the status of this MBSFN cluster during the time corresponding to the maximum value for Tbarred (see [4]).
For an MBSFN cluster (see [4]) when cell status is indicated as "reserved" for operator use, if a UE is assigned to Access Class 11 or 15 and the MBSFN cluster belongs to the home PLMN or to any EHPLMN: the UE shall treat this MBSFN cluster as a candidate during the MBSFN cluster selection and MBSFN cluster re-selection procedures.
else: UEs shall not consider this MBSFN cluster as candidate during the MBSFN cluster selection and MBSFN cluster re-selection procedures The UE may choose to not recheck the status of this MBSFN cluster during the time corresponding to the maximum value for Tbarred (see [4]). The UE should in all cases assume 'intra-frequency cell re-selection' has the value 'allowed'.

When several PCHs exist in the cell, the FACH which carries the CTCH may be mapped to a different SCCPCH than the PCH selected by the UE for paging in Idle mode (as specified in Sec. 8.1). In this case, UEs with basic service capabilities shall be capable to change from the SCCPCH that carries the PCH selected for paging to another SCCPCH which carries Cell Broadcast messages (i.e. the CTCH mapped to an FACH) and receive BMC messages during time intervals which do not conflict with the UE specific paging occasions. NOTE: In case certain BMC messages conflict with the UE specific paging occasions the reception of CBS cannot be guaranteed and depends on UE capabilities.

MBSFN cluster selection
MBSFN cluster selection/reselection process for MBSFN clusters operating on the same frequency may be based on reception quality of the CPICH for FDD and 3.84 Mcps TDD IMB or P-CCPCH for TDD. Details of the process are not specified. The UE shall search for MBSFN clusters if the frequencies on which MBSFN clusters are available are not indicated in the cell that the UE is camping on for normal service if the mobile is configured to receive services via MBSFN mode. Details of the process are not specified. For 1.28 Mcps TDD, the UE that needs receive MBMS services delivered in an MBSFN cluster may at the first step select a non MBSFN cell (i.e. a unicast cell), that the MBSFN cluster is associated with. The UE can get synchronized to the MBSFN cluster with the help of the information indicated in system information broadcast by the associated unicast cell,and receive the system information and MCCH messages in the MBSFN Special Timeslot. The details of the association between MBSFN clusters and non MBSFN cells operating in a unicast carrier are not specified.

Paging and SCCPCH selection and in FDD and 1.28 Mcps TDD the H-RNTI selection
Paging Channel selection
System information block type 5 (SIB 5) and System information block type 5bis (SIB 5bis)define common channels to be employed in Idle mode [4]. In a cell, a single or several PCHs may be established. Each Secondary Common Control Physical Channel (SCCPCH) indicated to the UE in system information may carry up to one PCH. Thus, for each defined PCH there is one uniquely associated PICH also indicated. In case that more than a single PCH and associated PICH are defined in SIB 5 or SIB 5bis, the UE shall perform a selection according to the following rule: The UE shall select a SCCPCH from the ones listed in SIB 5 or SIB 5bis based on IMSI as follows: "Index of selected SCCPCH" = IMSI mod K, where K is equal to the number of listed SCCPCHs which carry a PCH (i.e. SCCPCHs carrying FACH only shall not be counted). These SCCPCHs shall be indexed in the order of their occurrence in SIB 5 or SIB 5bis from 0 to K-1. For GSM-MAP, i.e. "IMSI (GSM-MAP)" is given as sequence of digits of type Integer(0..9), IMSI shall in the formula above be interpreted as a decimal integer number, where the first digit given in the sequence represents the highest order digit. For DS-41, i.e. "IMSI (DS-41)" is given as octet string, IMSI shall in the formulae above correspond to the decoded decimal representation of the IMSI-S part included in the octet string (see TIA/EIA/IS-2000-5). For example:

ETSI TS 125 304 V9.2.0 (2010-06)
IMSI (GSM-MAP) = 12 (digit1=1, digit2=2) In the calculations, this shall be interpreted as the decimal integer "12", not "1x16+2 = 18". "Index of selected SCCPCH" identifies the selected SCCPCH with the PCH and the uniquely associated PICH to be used by the UE. If the UE has no IMSI, for instance when making an emergency call without USIM, the UE shall use as default number IMSI = 0.

SCCPCH selection when entering Connected mode
If HS-DSCH operation in CELL_FACH state (FDD and 1.28 Mcps TDD) is not configured to the cell, when entering Connected mode from Idle mode by sending an RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message, the UE shall select the SCCPCH which carries an FACH to be used for reception of the RRC CONNECTION SETUP message according to the following rule: the UE shall select an SCCPCH from the SCCPCHs listed in System Information Block type 5 (SIB 5) or System Information Block type 5bis (SIB 5bis) based on "Initial UE Identity" as follows: "Index of selected SCCPCH" = "Initial UE Identity" mod K, where K is equal to the number of listed SCCPCHs which carry a FACH (i.e. SCCPCHs carrying PCH only shall not be counted). These SCCPCHs shall be indexed from 0 to K-1 in the order of their occurrence in SIB 5 or SIB 5bis, and "Index of selected SCCPCH" identifies the selected SCCPCH. "Initial UE Identity" refers to the Information Element included by the UE into the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message. In the above formula, the parameter "Initial UE Identity" shall be interpreted as follows, depending on the choice of UE-Id type of the respective IE: For UE-Id type "IMSI (GSM-MAP)", i.e. the IE is given as sequence of digits of type Integer(0..9), "Initial UE Identity" shall be interpreted as an integer number, where the first digit given in the sequence represents the highest order digit. For UE-Id types "TMSI and LAI (GSM-MAP)" or "P-TMSI and RAI (GSM-MAP)", only the TMSI or PTMSI parts given as Bitstring(32) shall be used, and "Initial UE Identity" shall be interpreted as a binary representation of an integer number, where the first bit in the Bitstring represents the highest order bit. For UE-Id type "IMEI", i.e. the IE is given as sequence of hexadecimal digits of type Integer(0..15), "Initial UE Identity" shall be interpreted as a hexadecimal representation of an integer number, where the first digit given in the sequence represents the highest order digit. For UE-Id type "IMSI (DS-41)", i.e. the IE is given as octet string, "Initial UE Identity" shall correspond to the decoded decimal representation of the IMSI-S part included in the octet string (see TIA/EIA/IS-2000-5). For UE-Id types "ESN (DS-41)" or "TMSI (DS-41)", i.e. the IE is given as Bitstring(32), "Initial UE Identity" shall be interpreted as a binary representation of an integer number, where the first bit in the Bitstring represents the highest order bit.

For UE-Id type "IMSI and ESN (DS-41)" only the ESN part shall be used as "Initial UE Identity", as defined above.
After detecting the HS-SCCH with Common H-RNTI, the UE start reception of the corresponding HS-PDSCH(s) TTI.
8.3
Discontinuous Reception for Paging
The UE may use Discontinuous Reception (DRX) in idle mode in order to reduce power consumption. When DRX is used the UE needs only to monitor one Page Indicator, PI, (see definition in [7] and [8]) in one Paging Occasion per DRX cycle. The DRX cycle length shall be MAX(2k, PBP) frames, where k is an integer and PBP is the Paging Block Periodicity. PBP is only applicable for TDD and is equal to the PICH repetition period that is broadcast in system information. For FDD, PBP=1. The UE may be attached to different CN domains with different CN domain specific DRX cycle lengths. The UE shall store each CN domain specific DRX cycle length for each CN domain the UE is attached to and use the shortest of those DRX cycle lengths. The CS CN specific DRX cycle length coefficient shall be updated locally in the UE using information given in system information. On the other hand, the PS CN specific DRX cycle length coefficient shall be updated after the negotiation between the UE and PS CN by NAS procedure. If no specific value "k" is negotiated in NAS procedure, the UE and PS CN shall use the DRX cycle length given for PS CN domain in system information. The DRX cycle lengths to use for UTRAN connected mode is the shortest of the following: UTRAN DRX cycle length; any of the stored CN domain specific DRX cycle length for the CN domains the UE is only attached to with no signalling connection established.
For TDD, and for FDD in IDLE mode as well as in RRC Connected mode, if HS-DSCH operation in CELL_PCH and URA_PCH state is not configured to the cell, or for 1.28 Mcps TDD if both HS-DSCH operation in CELL_PCH and URA_PCH state and legacy PCH are configured to the cell but no dedicated H-RNTI is allocated to the UE, the UE shall use the IMSI, the number of available SCCPCH which carry a PCH (K) as derived according to subclause 8.1,the Cell System Frame Number (SFN), Np (for FDD, Np is the number of page indicators within a frame; for TDD, Np is

the number of page indicators within a paging block), Frame offset (For FDD, Frame offset = 0; for TDD, PICH frame offset values are given in system information), PBP and the DRX cycle length to determine the Paging Occasions. For FDD, if HS-DSCH operation in CELL_PCH and URA_PCH state is configured to the cell, the UE in RRC Conneced mode shall use the IMSI, the number of indexed PICH for HSDPA supported paging (K) as derived from System Information Block Type 5 or System Information Block Type 5bis, the Cell System Frame Number (SFN), Np (Np is the number of page indicators within a frame), Frame offset (Frame offset = 0), PBP and the DRX cycle length to determine the Paging Occasions. For 1.28 Mcps TDD, if HS-DSCH operation in CELL_PCH and URA_PCH state is configured to the cell and no legacy PCH is configured in the cell, or if both HS-DSCH operation in CELL_PCH and URA_PCH state and legacy PCH are configured to the cell and the dedicated H-RNTI is allocated to the UE, the UE in RRC Conneced mode shall use the IMSI, the number of indexed PICH for HSDPA supported paging (K) as derived from System Information Block Type 5 or System Information Block Type 5bis, the Cell System Frame Number (SFN), Np (Np is the number of page indicators within a frame), Frame offset, PBP and the DRX cycle length to determine the Paging Occasions. In FDD the UE shall monitor its paging indicator in the PICH frame with SFN given by the Paging Occasion In TDD the UE shall monitor its paging indicator in the paging block given by the Paging Occasion. The Paging Occasion gives the SFN of the first frame of the paging block. The value of the Paging Occasion is determined as follows: Paging Occasion= {(IMSI div K) mod (DRX cycle length div PBP)} * PBP + n * DRX cycle length + Frame Offset Where n = 0,1,2 as long as SFN is below its maximum value. The actual Page Indicator within a Paging Occasion that the UE shall read is similarly determined based on IMSI. The Page Indicator to use is calculated by using the following formula: PI = DRX Index mod Np where DRX Index = IMSI div 8192 In FDD mode, Np = (18,36,72,144) is the number of Page Indicators per frame, and is given in IE "Number of PI per frame", part of system information in FDD mode. In TDD mode, Np is the number of Page Indicators per paging block and is calculated by the Paging Indicator Length LPI, the Burst Type (long or short midamble for 3.84/7.68 Mcps TDD) and the PICH repetition length, which are given in system information. If the UE has no IMSI, for instance when making an emergency call without USIM, the UE shall use as default numbers, IMSI = 0 and DRX cycle length = 256 (2.56 s), in the formulas above. For FDD, see [7] for details about the timing between a PICH frame and when the paging message is transmitted on the PCH in the associated S-CCPCH frame. In TDD mode, in case of PCCH mapping on PCH, the Paging Message Receiving Occasion is calculated using the following formula: Paging Message Receiving Occasion =Paging Occasion + NPICH + NGAP + {(DRX Index mod Np) mod NPCH } *2 For 1.28 Mcps TDD, in case of PCCH on HS-DSCH, the Paging Message Receiving Occasion is calculated using the following formula: Paging Message Receiving Occasion =Paging Occasion + NPICH + NGAP + {(DRX Index mod Np) mod NHS-PCH } *m Where NHS-PCH is the number of Paging sub-channels for PCCH on HS-DSCH and m is the length of each sub-channel in Radio Frame. The timing of PICH and Paging Message on HS-DSCH as well as the transmission pattern of PCCH on HS-DSCH is defined in [8]. The value NPICH is the number of frames for PICH transmission and is equal to the PICH repetition length given in system information. The value NGAP is the number of frames between the last frame carrying PICH for this Paging Occasion and the first frame carrying paging messages for this Paging Occasion. The value NPCH is the number of Paging Groups. NPCH and NGAP are given in system information.

For GSM-MAP, i.e. "IMSI (GSM-MAP)" is given as sequence of digits of type Integer(0..9), IMSI shall in the formulae above be interpreted as a decimal integer number, where the first digit given in the sequence represents the highest order digit. For DS-41, i.e. "IMSI (DS-41)" is given as octet string, IMSI shall in the formulae above correspond to the decoded decimal representation of the IMSI-S part included in the octet string (see TIA/EIA/IS-2000-5). For example: IMSI (GSM-MAP) = 12 (digit1=1, digit2=2) In the calculations, this shall be interpreted as the decimal integer "12", not "1x16+2 = 18".
8.4
Discontinuous Reception for MBMS
The UE may use discontinuous reception (DRX) on MBMS channels (MCCH, MSCH, MTCH) to reduce power consumption while subscribed to MBMS services.
8.4.1
Discontinuous Reception for MCCH
The UE may operate DRX on the MCCH either by monitoring the MICH to determine when it needs to receive the MCCH or by using the MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message on the MCCH to determine that it does not need to acquire the remainder of the MCCH information. The timing of the MCCH information transmission and the need to receive the MCCH are described in detail in [4].
8.4.1.1
Discontinuous Reception via MICH
When the UE operates DRX on the MCCH through monitoring the MICH, the UE needs to monitor one Notification Indicator (NI), as defined in [7], [8], for each MBMS service it is subscribed to. For each service, a corresponding NI will be set continuously through the entire length of the modification period preceding a change in the associated MCCH information. The modification period should be long enough that a UE that only receives the MICH during its paging occasions can still reliably detect a notification. For each service, the 16 bit Notification Indicator to use is calculated as a function of the TMGI:
NI = (TMGI + TMGI / G ) mod G , where G = 216.

A UE with one or more activated MBMS services may monitor the MICH. The exact timing with which the UE reads the MICH within a given modification period is left to the UE implementation, with the proviso that the UE needs to be able to detect notifications reliably for its activated MBMS service(s). The TMGI is structured as follows [16]:
8 6 5 4 3 2 1 Temporary Mobile Group Identity IEI Length of Temporary Mobile Group Identity contents MBMS Service ID MCC digit 2 MNC digit 3 MNC digit 2 MCC digit 1 MCC digit 3 MNC digit 1 7 Octet 1 Octet 2 Octet 3 Octet 4 Octet 5 Octet 6 Octet 7 Octet 8
NOTE:
The MBMS Service identity, which is signalled in [4] (see subclause 10.3.9a.8), concerns a signalling optimisation of the TMGI.
For the calculation of the NI, the TMGI shall be interpreted as a binary representation of an integer number, represented by the bitstring formed by the exclusive OR operation of the MBMS Service ID (octets 3 to 5 of the TMGI) and the PLMN identity (octets 6 to 8 of the TMGI) with the first/ leftmost/ most significant bit corresponding with b8 of the first octet.

8.4.1.2
Discontinuous Reception via MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION
If the UE receives the MODIFIED SERVICES INFORMATION message on the MCCH and determines from its contents that no service whose information the UE needs to acquire has been modified, the UE may refrain from receiving the MCCH for the remainder of the modification period.
8.4.2
Discontinuous Reception for MTCH
If the UE operates DRX on the MTCH, the UE shall receive the MSCH as described in [4] to obtain scheduling information for the MTCH. The reception intervals for MBMS services are given by the IE 'Service transmissions list' in the MBMS SCHEDULING INFORMATION message on the MSCH.
8a
MBMS Notification
The structure of the MICH is described in [7] and [14]. The RRC-layer behaviour of a UE receiving an MBMS notification indicator is specified in [4].
