Abstract
A Machine-to-machine (M2M) terminal () comprises a radio communication unit () and a controller (). The radio communication unit () is configured to communicate with a base station (). The controller () is configured to change at least one of a cell selection operation, a cell reselection operation, and a handover operation according to whether a specific coverage enhancement processing is required or according to whether the specific coverage enhancement processing is supported by at least one of a cell () in which the M2M terminal () camps on and a neighbouring cell () of the cell () which the M2M terminal () camps on. It is thus possible to provide an improved technique for allowing the M2M terminal that is supporting a special coverage enhancement processing for M2M terminals to camp on an appropriate cell.
