Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 5:
6. A user equipment (UE) for performing a cell reselection procedure, the UE comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor operatively coupled to the transceiver and configured to:
receive priority information about one or more frequencies,
perform a serving cell measurement based on a signal received from a serving cell,
identify at least one frequency among the one or more frequencies, based on the serving cell measurement and the priority information,
perform ranking of cells related with the identified at least one frequency including a first frequency and a second frequency, based on measurements performed on the at least one frequency, wherein the cells fulfill cell selection criterion S and a new radio (NR) frequency includes the first frequency and the second frequency, and
perform cell reselection by selecting at least one cell with highest number of beams above a first threshold value, from among candidate cells,

wherein the candidate cells include cells having rank values within a value of a rangeToBestCell parameter from a rank value of highest ranked cell among the ranked cells,
wherein when an absThreshSS-BlocksConsolidation parameter is configured for the first frequency, the first threshold value is the absThreshSS-BlocksConsolidation parameter, and
wherein when an absThreshSS-BlocksConsolidation parameter is not configured for the second frequency, the candidate cells include a cell on the second frequency, the cell on the second frequency has one beam, for which measurement is greater than the first threshold value.
