Method for an improved cell selection and/or cell reselection handling by an 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, wherein 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, 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, characterized in that the penalty information is received by the user equipment from the first base station entity, wherein the penalty information is configured in a cell-individual manner, wherein the penalty information comprises a penalty related timer information, wherein an offset information of the penalty information is applied, when conducting modified cell selection and/or cell reselection procedure, with respect to the first radio cell during a penalty time interval of the length indicated by the penalty related timer information, the penalty time interval starting after the failure, in the second step, of the user equipment trying to get connected with the public land mobile network using the random access channel of the first base station entity. -- 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, wherein 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, 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,
