Abstract:
1. A cell reselection method comprising: obtaining cell information indicating whether signal strength of a first neighbor cell determined by a mobile station to be not allowed for cell reselection is to be considered by the mobile station while evaluating one or more candidate neighbor cells determined to be allowed for cell reselection; reselecting to a second neighbor cell different from the first neighbor cell when a second signal strength of the second neighbor cell is less than a first signal strength of the first neighbor cell and the cell information indicates that signal strength of the first neighbor cell is not to be considered during cell reselection; and not reselecting to the second neighbor cell when the second signal strength of the second neighbor cell is less than the first signal strength of the first neighbor cell and the cell information indicates that signal strength of the first neighbor cell is to be considered during cell reselection.
