Patent ID: 11388646

Abstract:
A cell reselection control method according to one embodiment is a method in a mobile communication system. The cell reselection control method a step A of transmitting through a use of broadcast signaling, by a base station, as a redistribution parameter used for a redistribution function, a first redistribution parameter applied to a radio terminal in a first coverage and a second redistribution parameter applied to a radio terminal in a second coverage outside the first coverage, a step B of acquiring, by a radio terminal in an idle mode in the second coverage, the second redistribution parameter transmitted in the step A, and a step C of performing, by the radio terminal, cell reselection using the second redistribution parameter acquired in the step B. The redistribution function is a function of distributing cells and/or frequencies which a plurality of radio terminals in an idle mode reselects by cell reselection. The second coverage is a coverage extended by an enhanced coverage function including repetitive transmissions.
