Abstract
Methods, media, and systems are provided for controlling cell site selection by a user device in a telecommunications network. A System Information Block (SIB) message (e.g., an SIB Type 1 message) is transmitted (e.g., by a cell site) for receipt by the user device for cell site selection. In some aspects, the SIB message is transmitted while the user device is camping on a serving cell of a base station other than the cell site. The SIB message comprises information that identifies a type of the cell site. The type of the cell site is a cell site other than a macro cell, such as a small cell for example. Upon selection of the cell site by the user device based on the SIB message and the type of the cell site, the user device is provided access to a telecommunications service.
