1. A user terminal for a mobile communication system, comprising:

  • a receiver configured to receive a first parameter broadcasted from a current serving cell and a second parameter broadcasted from the current serving cell; and

    a controller configured to reselect a target cell to be used as a serving cell from among a plurality of cells operated at different frequencies, whereinthe first parameter is a parameter that defines a probability of performing reselection of the target cell,the second parameter is a timer value to be set in a timer started at a timing at which a quality measurement for neighbor cells ends, andthe controller is configured toin response to receiving the first parameter and the second parameter, periodically measure qualities of neighbor cells adjacent to the current serving cell at predetermined timings defined by the timer even when a quality of the current serving cell satisfies predetermined quality criteria,compare a value corresponding to IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) of the user terminal with a value corresponding to the first parameter, andreselect the target cell from among cells having a quality satisfying predetermined quality criteria, based on results of the quality measurement and the comparison.
