1. An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- a processor; and
at least one memory including program code that, when executed by the processor, causes the apparatus to;
receive system information from a network node that is shared by two or more operator networks, wherein the system information comprises first information associated with at least one operator network related to one or more neighboring cells of the apparatus;
determine whether there is an operator network accessible to the apparatus in the at least one operator network, based at least on the first information;
in an instance in which a single carrier of the one or more neighboring cells belongs to more than one operator network, of which at least one operator network is accessible to the apparatus and at least one operator network is inaccessible to the apparatus;
determine which neighboring cells on said single carrier belong to the at least one accessible operator network based at least in part on the first information, andperform cell detection and measurements related to the neighboring cells on said single carrier that belong to the at least one accessible operator network; and
perform a cell reselection procedure only when one or more accessible operator networks are determined.

Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention provide a method for cell reselection, comprising: receiving, at a user equipment, system information from a network node that is shared by two or more operator networks, wherein the system information comprises first information associated with at least one operator network related to one or more neighboring cells for the user equipment; determining whether there is an operator network accessible to the user equipment in the at least one operator network, based at least in part on the first information; and performing a cell reselection procedure only when one or more accessible operator networks are determined.
