Method for an improved cell selection and/or cell reselection handling by a user equipment that is trying to camp on a radio cell of a public land mobile network, wherein the public land mobile network comprises at least a first radio cell with a first base station entity and a second radio cell with a second base station entity, the improved cell selection and/or cell reselection handling being related to an uplink access procedure in dependency of attempts, by the user equipment, to get connected with the public land mobile network using a random access channel of the first base station entity and/or of the second base station entity, wherein the method comprises the following steps: -- in a first step, the cell selection and/or cell reselection procedure is performed by the user equipment, leading to the result that both the first radio cell and the second radio cell fulfill a cell selection criterion, wherein the first radio cell is prioritized with regard to the second radio cell, -- in a second step, the user equipment tries to get connected with the public land mobile network using the random access channel of the first base station entity which fails, -- in a third step, a modified cell selection and/or cell reselection procedure is performed by the user equipment, wherein - despite unchanged radio conditions regarding the first base station entity, the second base station entity, and the user equipment - the user equipment tries to get connected with the public land mobile network using a random access channel of the second base station entity, characterized in that the modified cell selection and/or cell reselection procedure is conducted by the user equipment applying a penalty information with respect to the first radio cell, wherein the penalty information with respect to at least the first radio cell is transmitted to the user equipment, the application of the penalty information with respect to the first radio cell resulting - at least potentially - in a lower priority of the first radio cell compared to the priority of the second radio cell, wherein the penalty information comprises an offset information, wherein at least one of the following values: -- the cell selection RX level value, Srxlev, -- the cell selection quality value, Squal, -- the measured cell RX level value, RSRP, -- the measured cell quality value, RSRQ, is/are reduced, by applying the offset information, with respect to the first radio cell. -- in a first step, the cell selection and/or cell reselection procedure is performed by the user equipment, leading to the result that both the first radio cell and the second radio cell fulfill a cell selection criterion, wherein the first radio cell is prioritized with regard to the second radio cell, -- in a second step, the user equipment tries to get connected with the public land mobile network using the random access channel of the first base station entity which fails, -- in a third step, a modified cell selection and/or cell reselection procedure is performed by the user equipment, wherein - despite unchanged radio conditions regarding the first base station entity, the second base station entity, and the user equipment - the user equipment tries to get connected with the public land mobile network using a random access channel of the second base station entity, characterized in that the modified cell selection and/or cell reselection procedure is conducted by the user equipment applying a penalty information with respect to the first radio cell, wherein the penalty information with respect to at least the first radio cell is transmitted to the user equipment, the application of the penalty information with respect to the first radio cell resulting - at least potentially - in a lower priority of the first radio cell compared to the priority of the second radio cell, wherein the penalty information comprises an offset information, wherein at least one of the following values: -- the cell selection RX level value, Srxlev, -- the cell selection quality value, Squal, -- the measured cell RX level value, RSRP, -- the measured cell quality value, RSRQ,
