UE Idle Mode – PLMN reselection
The NAS provides a list of equivalent PLMNs that the AS uses for PLMN
selection, cell selection, cell reselection and handover
PLMN reselection: if necessary, the UE will look for more suitable cells on
other PLMNs at regular
g time intervals
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. LA or RA
– 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
