A user equipment (UE) configured to determine, for each radio access technology (RAT) of a plurality of RATs, a first list of bands on which a public land mobile network (PLMN) is expected to be deployed and a second list of bands including bands not included in the first list, wherein the first list is determined based on a region where the UE is currently located and PLMN deployment information, select a search pattern for performing a cell search based on a current UE scenario, perform a first phase of the cell search and when the first phase of the cell search is unsuccessful and no cell is selected, perform a second phase of the cell search by either scanning frequencies included in the second list of bands for the first priority RAT or scanning frequencies included in the first list of bands for a second priority RAT.

Multi-band multi-RAT cell search

A user equipment (UE) is configured to receive a mobility configuration from a source cell of a network, wherein the mobility configuration includes at least one mobility measurement object, determine that a radio link failure (RLF) event has occurred on the source cell, searching for a primary cell (PCell) only on frequencies associated with the at least one mobility measurement object to reestablish a radio resource control (RRC) connection and reestablish the RRC connection with the PCell.
