Idle mode camping priority
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving signaling from an access node of a wireless network that uses component carrier aggregation, the signaling being received by a user equipment configured for carrier aggregation and comprising an identification of a plurality of aggregated component carriers and a priority associated with individual ones of the aggregated component carriers; and
selecting, based at least in part on the priority associated with individual ones of the aggregated component carriers, one of the identified aggregated component carriers to camp on when in an idle mode.

Abstract
In accordance with the exemplary embodiments of the invention, as described herein, there is at least a method, apparatus, and a computer program code to receive signaling from an access node of a wireless network that uses component carrier aggregation, the signaling including an identification of a plurality of component carriers and a priority associated with individual ones of the component carriers, and select one of the component carriers to camp on when in an idle mode. Further, in accordance with the exemplary embodiments of the invention, there is transmitting signaling from an access node of a wireless network that uses component carrier aggregation, the signaling including an identification of a plurality of component carriers and a priority associated with individual ones of the component carriers, and receiving a random access channel corresponding to a component carrier selected by a user equipment in accordance with the transmitted signaling.
