Abstract

A method for applying one or more priorities for cell re-selection by a terminal in a wireless communication system is disclosed in the present invention. More particularly, the method comprises the steps of: setting a first priority and a second priority, applying the first priority for the cell re-selection, and applying the second priority for the cell re-selection if connection establishment with a network is requested for.

Claims

1. A method for applying one or more priorities for cell reselection by a user equipment in a Radio Resource Connection (RRC) Idle state in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

setting a first priority and a second priority;

applying the first priority for the cell reselection;

receiving an indicator indicating disallowance of the first priority or allowance of the first priority from a cell;

maintaining the first priority by ignoring the indicator until

connection establishment with a network is requested by NAS layer; and

when the connection establishment with the network is requested, determining whether to apply the second priority based on the indicator.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the one or more priorities are associated with a predetermined frequency that provides a service.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the step of applying the first priority includes setting a priority of the predetermined frequency to the first priority.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the step of applying the second priority includes setting the priority of the predetermined frequency to a priority signaled by the network.

5. The method according to claim 1, further comprising the whether to apply the second priority is determined further based on a cause of the connection establishment.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the cause of the connection establishment is mo-data (mobile originating data).

7. The method according to claim 5, wherein the cause of the connection establishment is emergency, high priority access, mt-Access (mobile terminating-Access), mo-Signaling (mobile originating-Signaling), mo-Data (mobile originating data), and delay tolerant access.

8. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

when the indicator indicates disallowance of first priority, applying the second priority for the cell reselection, and

when the indicator indicates allowance of the first priority, applying the first priority for the cell reselection.

9. The method according to claim 1, further comprising receiving information on a specific connection cause from the network;

and determining whether to apply the second priority, based on the information on the specific connection cause.

10. The method according to claim 9, wherein, if the cause of the connection establishment is the specific connection cause, the second priority is applied for the cell reselection.

11. The method according to claim 9, wherein, if the cause of the connection establishment is not the specific connection cause, the second priority is applied for the cell reselection.

12. The method according to claim 9, wherein the service is a multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS).

13. The user equipment in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a transmitter and receiver for transmitting and receiving a signal from a network; and

a processor operatively connected to the transmitter and receiver,

the processor configured to set a first priority and a second priority, apply the first priority for the cell reselection, and control the receiver to receive an indicator indicating disallowance of the first priority or allowance of the first priority from a cell, maintain the first priority by ignoring the indicator until connection establishment with a network is requested by NAS layer and determine whether to apply the second priority based on the indicator, when the connection establishment with the network is requested.
